Porknocker remanded after chopping woman

Mar 02, 2013 News

A porknocker who pleaded guilty to a drug possession charge changed his plea after he was informed that the penalty for the offence is imprisonment.
Curtis Lewis, 19, of Lot 122 Leopold and Breda Streets, Charlestown, Georgetown has been accused of having three grams of cannabis in his possession for the purpose of trafficking on February 22 last. The prosecution stated that the facts were as charged.
Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry fined him $3,000 along with six months of community service.
Lewis was also charged with unlawfully and maliciously wounding Sandra Park. He pleaded not guilty to that charge. Park told the Magistrate that she and the defendant were before her some two weeks prior to this incident. Park stated that the defendant continues to harass her despite being warned by the court. Lewis’s Attorney Paul Fung-a-Fat in bid for bail told the court that his client has a fixed place of abode at lot 122 Leopold and Breda Streets Charlestown and that he is a pork knocker.
Lewis was however refused bail and remanded to prison on the latter charge.
The matter will be called again on March 4.
