Man charged for breaking into Judge’s private property
A father of seven has been accused of breaking into the home of a Judge, and appeared in court yesterday to answer the related charge.
Otis Peters, 45, of ‘A’ Field, Sophia, pleaded not guilty when he stood before Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court. He had no legal representation.
The allegation is that on Monday, March 4, Peters broke and entered the dwelling house of Justice Brassington Reynolds and stole a complete window frame valued at $25,000.
Following the reading of the charge, the defendant offered an explanation for his actions.
Peters said that he did go into the house, claiming that he was collecting scrap metal.
“Normally I does push cart and pick up old iron and I was in the street when I see some iron went by the gate and ah pick it up. I didn’t go in the yard or break in nowhere”
‘My wife died and I does got to go fuh old iron because I got seven children fuh mind.”
Police Prosecutor Vishnu Hunte objected to bail on the basis of the penalty attached to the offence.
“Should the defendant be granted bail, there is a likelihood that he will not return to court for trial.”
Peters was remanded and will be back in court on March 11.
