Renton Reeks and Natasha Morrison appeared on Friday before Magistrate Faith McGusty at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court where they were separately charged for assault, use of threatening language, and larceny.
Both Reeks and Morrison pleaded not guilty to the charges.
It is alleged that on February 9, at Lot 284 John Smith Street, Campbellville, Georgetown, Reeks assaulted Natasha Morrison. It is also alleged that at the same date and location, he used threatening language against Morrison.
Morrison’s charge alleges that on February 9, at Lot 284 John Smith Street, Campbellville, Georgetown, she stole $45,000 in cash which belonged to Renton Reeks.
Reeks was represented by attorney-at-law Stacy Goodings, who told the court that her client was 51 years old and had a fixed place of abode with no previous antecedents on his record, and as such, requested that her client be granted reasonable bail.
The attorney also stated that her client and Morrison previously shared a relationship which ended. She disclosed that Morrison had already remarried and her client had asked her to leave his home which they share.
According to Goodings, on the day of the incident, Morrison barged into her client’s room while he was attempting to secure his belongings and upon asking her to leave, Morrison made a report against him at the police station.
The defence counsel also informed the court that her client has been sleeping in his car to avoid any interaction with Morrison.
When questioned by Magistrate McGusty, Morrison acknowledged that she had been instructed by another court to move out of the home by February 28.
Morrison’s attorney stated that her client had no previous antecedents and asked for her to be placed on reasonable bail.
Reeks was placed on $25,000 bail while Morrison was placed on $20,000 bail, and the pair were placed on a bond to keep the peace.
The matter was adjourned to March 7.
