A magistrate’s court sentenced a man to three months in prison for assaulting a woman with a figurine.
Ma’lek Sawyer, 20, appeared before Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain on charges of assault with a dangerous instrument, threats of death and assault.
On June 10 at Crepe Myrtle Avenue in Garden Hills, Sawyer threatened Rachel Ferguson with death and assaulted her with a figurine. He pleaded guilty to all three counts.
The Magistrate sentenced him to serve three months in custody at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services (BDCS) for the assault charge. The accused was further fined $500 for the assault with a dangerous instrument and another fine of $300 or three months in prison for the threats of death.
Sawyer was informed that he had up to seven days to appeal the court’s ruling.
