The Spring Village, Georgetown man who was arraigned on Feb. 17 on two counts of threatening his mother has been freed of the charges without a trial.
Glenroy Providence, 54, had pleaded not guilty to the charged when he appeared before Magistrate Kaywana Jacobs at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
He had been charged that on Feb. 2, in circumstances likely to cause a breach of peace, he made use of threatening language to Garnetta Spring, also of Spring Village, to wit, “Ah must kill yo in a dah f***ing house yah!.
He was further charged that on the same date in a public place to wit the Spring Village public road, he told Spring, “Ah must kill yo in dah house dey!”
Providence had told the court that his mother was going senile and asked that he stand his own bail.
However, Prosecutor Corlene Samuel had said that Providence was well known to the court and that the threat was not a simple one.
The magistrate had placed Providence on EC$1,000 bail with one surety and had ordered that he have no contact with the virtual complainant.
She also had ordered Providence to vacate the premises.
The matter was adjourned to March 24 and further adjourned to April 28.
On Monday, the prosecution told the court that Spring no longer had an interest in the matter and would not give evidence.
The magistrate dismissed the matter for want of prosecution.
However, this is not the end of Providence’s legal trouble, as he is awaiting trial later this month on charges of using threatening language, assault and damage to property.
Its a shame when economic conditions are so bad men want to kill their mothers.
