Tearful accused granted bail on charge of avoiding lawful arrest

Aug 25, 2012 News

Samuel Patoir, a 41-year-old resident of Grove Housing Scheme is accused of assault with intent to prevent lawful apprehension, disorderly behaviour and unlawful assault of a police officer.   Patoir pleaded not guilty to the latter charges while he was not required to plead to the first, when he appeared before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton yesterday.
The man burst into tears as the charges were read to him.
One charge stated that on August 22, at Grove, Patoir behaved in a disorderly manner and assaulted police constable Neil Thornhill. In addition, on the same day, the accused allegedly assaulted Devon Lopes, a police detective, acting in execution of his duty, in an attempt to prevent lawful apprehension.
Attorney at Law Gordon Gilhuys asked that the accused be granted bail in a nominal sum. However, the prosecution asked for it to be a substantial amount. The magistrate granted Patoir bail to the tune of $50,000. He will make his next court appearance on October 17.
