Forty-seven-year-old Faye Matthews, a hairdresser, of Lot 9 D’Urban Street, Lodge, Georgetown, and Parinna Jardin of Lot 356 Schoonord Village, West Bank Demerara, yesterday appeared virtually at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Rhondell Weever where they were charged with using abusive and threatening language.
It is alleged that on August 20, at Seawall Road, Georgetown, Matthews, used abusive language to Jardin in breach of the peace.
Matthews pleaded not guilty and was granted bail in the sum of $10,000.
