The incident occurred around 8:30 p.m. on March 28, 2014. The complainant, Inmas Espinal, testified that Ardon went to his house and threatened him with a firearm to his head.

In his defence, Ardon testified and denied that he committed the offence. Ardon said he went to his uncle's house and he saw Espinal and his girlfriend in the yard. Ardon said it was Espinal who threatened to shoot him and he challenged him to a fist fight.

Ardon said Espinal then approached him with a stick and he went to his car and got a construction tool to defend himself. Chief Magistrate told Ardon that his version of the events does not make any sense and she found him guilty.

Chief Magistrate Ann Marie Smith did not believe Ardon's version of the events saying that it didn't make any sense. Instead of sentencing him to the mandatory 2 year jail time, she fined him $500 and bound him to keep peace for 3 years.
