Man Jailed For Threatening Common-Law
posted (September 12, 2012)
25 year-old Allison Williams, a Laborer residing Rivero Street, is in jail tonight after he was taken to court this evening for allegedly assaulting his common-law wife this morning.

Jacqueline Young reported to police that Williams awoke at around 5 a.m., and left the house. She said that she followed him and discovered that he went on Kraal Road.

She said that she saw him speaking to the mother of his child, and as a result, she approached him and they got into an argument about it.

He allegedly then pulled her by her hair, grabbed a piece of wood and hit her on her left arm causing bruising and swelling.

He allegedly then walked behind a blue plywood house, and when he returned, he had a black .38 pistol in his hand, which he pointed at her and issued a death threat.

Police investigated the report and they charged him with using threatening words, harm, and aggravated assault.

He was arraigned before Magistrate Dale Cayetano, where he pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

He couldn't be granted because one of the offenses was allegedly committed with a firearm and he asked Magistrate Cayetano give him an adjournment date which covered the mandatory 3-month remand.

Magistrate Cayetano then adjourned the matter until December 12.
