Man too drunk to remember threat

Jun 07, 2012 News

 

 

A Port Kaituma man was fined $15,000 on Tuesday when he appeared before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton for threatening to chop off his wife’s head because she had not prepared his lunch on time.
Maxwell Jones told the court that on the day in question, “I was so drunk that I can’t remember what I said.”
The man was charged with threatening language against Allison Sawyers on June 1, last. The defendant pleaded guilty.
The police said that on the day of the incident around 13:13 hours the defendant went home and inquired about his lunch. It was stated that the wife replied that she had not finished preparing the food and the man proceeded to abuse her. He also threatened to chop off the woman’s head.
The court ordered Jones to pay the $15,000 fine forthwith or face the alternative penalty of 10 days in prison.
