Landlord refutes being “under the influence of alcohol”

Dec 16, 2010 News

Less than a week ago, Kaieteur News reported on a court proceeding involving Peter Harvey and his tenant Joy Brummell. It was reported that Joy Brummell appeared before Magistrate Priya Beharry on Wednesday last and was charged with assault causing actual bodily harm to her landlord, Peter Harvey.
This newspaper stated that Harvey was under the influence of alcohol. However the man is refuting such allegations.
The article further stated that “on the day of the incident the defendant told Harvey that someone had stolen her cloths off the line”. According to Harvey the “cloths issue” was a separate incident that had occurred between him and his tenant and it was not on the day of the incident.
The man then said that on the day of the incident, the defendant claimed to have lost a fan and an umbrella. The man said that the woman further insinuated that another tenant had stolen her belongings.
According to Harvey, in an attempt to solve the issue, he then proceeded to the accused tenant and informed her of the allegations. He said
that he sought her permission for Brummell to search her apartment. “She search up the girl place; tumble up all kind thing, and ain’t find nothing”.
Harvey said that as a result, he told her that he was going to report her to the police station for causing public mischief. “With that she pick up she slipper and pelt me in me head and burst it.” The man said that Brummell pelted him with a footwear that carries a very hard bottom and the distance from which she pelt him along with the force she did, caused his head to burst.
Harvey stated that, after noticing blood coming from his head, he then took the footwear to the station where he made a report.
Brummell who is no longer a tenant of Harvey’s, was placed on a $40,000 bail. However she pleaded with the court to reduce the sum since she claimed to have been unemployed.
The magistrate granted her request and reduced bail to the sum of $5,000.
Harvey said that, Monday was his second court appearance and the matter was put off until January 11.
