From there, she was taken to Criminal Investigation Department (CID) where she was released on her own recognizance (self bail) for another offence. Callendar was instructed to return to CID today.
However, Principal Magistrate Latchman instructed Callendar to return to court on March 28 for the commencement of the assault trial which will be conducted in Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore courtroom.
Callendar was arrested at her East Ruimveldt home while her fiancé, Troy Anthony Thomas, the 31-year-old Guyanese murder suspect was arrested at his Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara home after an intelligence-led operation by ranks of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) raided his premises.
Thomas, of 32nd Street, South Ozone Park, Queens, New York, is currently in custody pending extradition to the US to answer to a murder charge.
According to information, Thomas fled to Guyana after allegedly gunning down another Guyanese, 20-year-old Keith Frank, in Queens, New York, seven years ago.
Thomas reportedly fled to Guyana shortly after an arrest warrant was issued for him in the US for the murder of Keith Frank, who was slain on December 11, 2011.
Frank succumbed to a bullet wound to the torso, allegedly during a confrontation with Thomas and others.
Attorney-at-law Stacy Goodings, who is representing the Government of the United States, told the court that several checks were made at Central Immigration Office and they found no record of the Thomas entering Guyana.
He is currently on remand and his expected to make his next court appearance on March 20.
