Admitting to behaving disorderly because a policeman was apparently harassing him, young Quincy Gilbert was yesterday fined $10,000.
Gilbert told Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts that he behaved disorderly after he was being harassed by a police officer at Grove Public Road.
Gilbert, however, pleaded not guilty to the two other charges—resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer on duty.
The court heard that on March 28, Gilbert behaved in a disorderly manner, resisted arrest, and assaulted a police officer who tried to intervene.
The young man, who is unemployed, was fined $10,000 with an alternative of three weeks in prison for the disorderly behaviour charge. His next court date is April 2.
