Forty-nine-year-old- Mervin Taylor appeared yesterday at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court before Acting Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty charged with breaching a protection order.

Taylor pled not guilty to the charge.

It is alleged that on January 25 Taylor breached a protection order made against him in favour of Vanil Grey which set out that he was not to be in 50 feet of Grey.

Taylor in his defence, stated that he used to be in a relationship with Grey and claimed that he did not breach the order and simply went to drop off his child. However, Grey interjected alleging that she was at church when Taylor came and verbally abused her at the church and did not even notify her beforehand that he was bringing their child.

Bail was granted in the sum of $10,000.

 The matter was adjourned to February 21.
