A Region Six sports officer based within Region Six’s compound was yesterday remanded to prison after he was charged with threatening behaviour and possession of offensive weapons that is to say two knives.
Godwyn Allicock, 42, of Rose Hall Town, Corentyne, appeared before Magistrate Peter Hugh at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court where the charges were read to him.
After he pleaded not guilty he was then remanded to prison. In addition to this, the Magistrate also ordered that the accused undergo a mental evaluation. He is presently at the National Psychiatric Hospital.
He will return to court on January 5. Allicock was arrested on Tuesday in New Amsterdam after he allegedly threatened his ex-wife at the New Amsterdam Police Station while allegedly armed with two knives.
The man had allegedly broken into the woman’s house and had fallen asleep which caused her to head to the New Amsterdam Police Station where she filed a report against him on Tuesday morning.
The woman then proceeded to work where she noticed the man, who is also based at the same location, entering the compound.
She then hurriedly left work and boarded a car with the intention of returning to the station but the man armed with the two knives then entered the same car.
According to a source, another taxi driver then arrived and whipped out a cutlass and assisted the woman by transporting her to the station.
However, while there, it is alleged that the man rushed into the station where he began threatening the woman.
The source added that officers attempted to apprehend the man but he escaped into the town.
A search was then launched and the man was arrested shortly after.
A source had confirmed, that the man was arrested with two knives, one if which had Tuesday’s date stamped on, and a substance suspected to be poisonous.
