A MAN was granted $6,000 bail in a Magistrate‘s Court after being accused of failing to charge his electronic monitoring device while on bail for murder.

This comes nearly three months after the accused was fined for a similar bail violation citing the same issues of not charging the device.

Nahshon Rolle, 26, faced Magistrate Kendra Kelly on three counts of violating his bail conditions.

This is in connection with his pending murder charge for his alleged involvement in the death of 17-year-old Jason Joseph on May 5, 2020.

Between October 31 and November 5 in South Andros and New Providence, Rolle is accused of failing to keep his EMD charged on three separate occasions.

In court, he pleaded not guilty to his most recent charge. Rolle explained to the magistrate that he had had issues with his EMD for months. He said that while he had requested a new monitoring device from Metro Security he has yet to receive it.

The prosecution confirmed that the accused had previously been fined $2,500 and placed on 18 months probation before Magistrate Samuel McKinney for a similar bail violation on September 8. He also had no objections to bail for this charge.

Bail was then granted to the accused at $6,000 with one or two sureties. In addition to being expected to continue signing in at Carmichael Police Station every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, Rolle must be issued a new electronic monitoring device before his release.
