Marc Anthony Joseph, of Nelson Street, Port-of-Spain, was granted $80,000 bail with surety after pleading not guilty to a series of charges when he appeared before a Port-of-Spain Magistrate yesterday (Tuesday 17th November 2020). The matter was postponed to 15th December 2020.
Joseph was arrested and charged with two (2) counts of assaulting a Police Officer in the execution of his duties, resisting arrest, using obscene language, and littering. The charges arose out of an incident which allegedly occurred on Friday 13th November 2020, in which a Police Officer issued a ticket to the accused for failing to wear a face mask. The man allegedly became very hostile towards Officers, refusing to accept the ticket and discarded it by throwing it onto the roadway. An Officer proceeded to pick up the ticket and re-issued the ticket to the accused following which the man reportedly verbally and physically attacked the Officer.
Following the attack of the Officer, other Police Officers subdued the man. He allegedly continued to behave in a loud and irate manner before Officers managed to arrest him.
Two (2) Police Officers who were injured during the melee, were taken to Hospital to be treated. The man was charged with the offences by Cpl Bacchus and PC Durrant.
