Omalo Williams, who allegedly committed two robberies on the day after he was released on bail on similar charges, was remanded to prison yesterday.
Williams, who was out on $900,000 bail for previous armed robbery charges, was once again brought to the city court, where he appeared before acting Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus yesterday.
It is alleged that Williams, 27, of 83 Leopold Street, on May 25 at Smyth Street, in the company of others and armed with a gun, robbed Odwin Lowenfield and Latoya Lowenfield. It was reported that he allegedly robbed Mr. Lowenfield of a phone, valued $66,000, and of $25,000 in cash. Williams later that day allegedly robbed Latoya Lowenfield of a cellphone, valued $170,000.
Williams, who told the court he is a footballer, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Prosecutor Adduni Inniss objected to him being granted bail due to the serious nature of the offence. Although she did not go into the details of the new charges, she did inform the court that while Williams was out on bail for his previous charges, he committed the offences in question.
Williams told the court that he was released from prison on May 24th, 2019, after spending 11 months on remand for previous armed robbery charges, which he has also denied.
He was eventually refused bail by the magistrate and the case was adjourned until June 24th.
