A MAN was fined in court yesterday for breaching his curfew while on bail for his alleged involvement in a 2021 airport armed robbery that almost killed a woman and a police officer.

Marvin Tilme, 30, represented by attorney Alphonso Lewis, faced Magistrate Samuel McKinney on a charge of violation of bail conditions.

This is in connection with Tilme’s Supreme Court imposed bail on charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm, possession of ammunition, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, armed robbery, two counts of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, two counts of abetment to commit attempted murder, two counts of attempted murder and three counts of abetment to commit armed robbery.

It is alleged that on October 2, 2021, being concerned with others and armed with a handgun, Tilme robbed Karen Bain at LPIA while she was assisting a business with a deposit. It is said that $3,354 in cash, a $200 cell phone and a pair of Coach glasses were stolen from Ms Bain. During this same incident it is reported that when a police officer attempted to intervene, the suspects shot him before fleeing the scene.

On December 27, 2022, around 1.50am, Tilme, while on bail on these charges, failed to keep his court ordered residential curfew.

In court, the accused pleaded guilty. He was ordered to pay a $500 fine or risk spending three months in prison.

Tilme was also placed on 18 months’ probation. If he breaches this, he faces a year in prison.
