A MAN was granted $1,000 bail in court on Monday after being accused of setting fire to a woman’s home last month.
Javon Colebrooke, 52, stood before Senior Magistrate Derence A Rolle Davis on a charge of causing damage by fire.
It is alleged that on March 31 in New Providence, Colebrooke intentionally set a six-room single-storey stone structure belonging to Mrs Helen McPhee on fire. This attempted arson is said to have caused an estimated $1,527 of damage to the property.
Before the magistrate, Colebrooke pleaded not guilty. The defendant’s bail was set at $1,000 under the condition he sign in at the Grove Police Station every Monday, Wednesday and Sunday.
The trial in this matter is set for June 19.
