Teacher jailed for 59 months on armed robbery charge
Magistrate Judy Latchman yesterday ruled that there is enough evidence against Calvin Sergeant, a teacher from 41 D’Urban Street, Wortmanville, for him to be convicted for a robbery under arms charge.
Sergeant was charged with armed robbery as well as gun and ammunition possession. The robbery victim was Floyd Rawlins on August 15, last year.
Sergeant was remanded to prison at his first court appearance by Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton on a charge that at Meadowbrook, Georgetown, while armed with a gun, Sergeant robbed Floyd Rawlins of a gold chain valued $200,000. It was also alleged that on the same day he had in his possession a .38 revolver and five live rounds of .38 ammunition without a licence. He pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
However at yesterday’s summing up, Magistrate Latchman ruled that Sergeant, said to be a physics and chemistry teacher at the Business School, was found guilty.
The accused was positively identified by the robbery victim, who had chased him down in his car. The unlicenced gun and ammunition were found in Sergeant’s pants’ waist by police after a search was conducted on his person.
