A MAN accused of threatening to kill Prime Minister Phillip “Brave” Davis was granted bail yesterday.

Isaac Roberts, 21, was charged earlier this week before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson- Pratt with making death threats.

According to police reports, it is alleged that someone called Central Police Station around 8.20am on Saturday, February 18, and threatened to kill Mr Davis.

After this incident, a suspect was taken into police custody and had his cell phone confiscated.

Following Roberts’ plea of not guilty on Monday, he was sent to prison to await the judge’s decision on bail.

In his latest appearance before Magistrate Ferguson-Pratt, he was granted $5,000 bail with one or two sureties. Under the condition of this bail, Roberts is to be fitted with an electronic monitoring device and is expected to sign in at Wulff Road Police Station every Tuesday and Thursday by 6pm.

Roberts’ trial is set for September 13-14. He is represented by Bjorn Ferguson.
