Mar 21, 2014 News

A female police constable who allegedly tried to obtain items from the Police Consumer’s Co-op Society Ltd. on credit by using a forged document was granted bail when she appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry yesterday.
The accused, Police Constable 19025 Julina Nicholas, 36, of Haslington, East Coast Demerara was offered bail in the sum of $60,000 after she pleaded not guilty to a charge of uttering a forged document.
The allegation against her claimed between October 1 and October 31, at the Police Consumer’s Co-op Society Ltd. with intent to defraud she uttered a forged document with the signature of an Assistant Superintendent of Police to Sergeant Shelly Cole-Douglas, despite knowing same to be forged.
The court heard that in October last year, Nicholas went to the establishment located on Robb Street, Georgetown and presented the form to the Sergeant. When it was discovered that the document was forged, the accused was arrested and charged with the offence.
Nicholas’ lawyer, Patrice Henry, told the court that his client, who has had no previous conviction, served the Guyana Police Force for thirteen years. He urged the court to consider reasonable bail for the woman.
Henry’s application was met with no objections from the Prosecution, hence bail was allowed. Nicholas is scheduled to return to court on April 13.
