A 33-year-old Freeport woman was charged with two counts of conspiracy to possess a firearm with intent to endanger the lives of two people.
She was also charged with conspiracy to cause public terror.
Treigh Newbold appeared before Magistrate LaQuay Laing.
It is alleged that on June 27, the accused, being concerned with another, conspired to possess a firearm with intent to endanger the lives of Glen Smith and Jonathan Cooper.
It is also alleged that on the same date and place, the accused, being concerned with another, conspired to cause public terror.
Paco Deal represented Newbold, who pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Calsey Arthur did not object to bail. The woman must avoid contact with the witnesses and sign in weekly to the nearest police station.
Sergeant Arthur also informed the court that the male co-accused could not appear in court due to exposure to COVID while in custody at Central Police Station. He said the accused is in quarantine for seven days.
Mr Deal argued that his client is an upstanding citizen and the mother of a child suffering from sickle cell and sometimes has to travel outside the jurisdiction for medical treatment in the United States.
Magistrate Laing ordered Newbold to sign in once a month on the first Wednesday to the Southwestern (Port Lucaya) Police Station.
She was granted $8,000 bail with three suretors. The case was adjourned to September 1, 2023.
