posted (September 11, 2013)
In July, we told you about 22 year-old Nicholi Rhys who went back before the courts for a harm charge, shortly after he had been acquitted of the brazen courthouse killing of Andre Trapp. Well today again, Rhys was back in front of Magistrate's Court with a charge of handling stolen goods.

According to police, at 12:05 yesterday afternoon, 20 year old Earl Perez was in his vehicle with his two relatives when he decided to park the vehicle on George Street. As soon as he parked, young man strode up to the vehicle, pushed his hand through the open window and snatched his black IPhone from off his lap.

The young man then ran down the street where he handed the phone to another young man and they escaped. Perez reported the theft to police who later detained Rhys, and found the IPhone on him.

Rhys was unrepresented when he appeared before Magistrate Hettie Mae Stuart and pleaded not guilty to the charge. He was offered one thousand dollars bail, which he was able to meet, and he is due back in court on October 17.
