In May of this year, we told you about Corporal Darrel "Tutsi" Usher, who was charged with wounding after he allegedly punched and kicked a woman who was attending a wake in Hattieville.
That woman was Christine Neal, who told police that on April 25, she was at a wake for Mark McKoy when she was blindsided by a punch to her left temple and a kick to her stomach by Usher.
Two weeks after the report was made, Usher was arrested by police and charged with wounding. He had pleaded not guilty to the charge and was granted bail of one thousand dollars which he met.
This morning when he appeared before the Chief Magistrate, his charge was dismissed after the prosecutor informed the court that Neal had asked that no further action be taken in her case.
Usher was told that his charge was withdrawn and he was free to leave the court. You also may remember, his father, Gilroy Usher Sr, the PUP Standard Bearer and Caretaker of the Port Loyola Division, who is facing criminal charges for harm against his wife.
Usher Sr. has stated that this charge will also be dismissed at the next court adjournment.
