TWO men were granted bail in Magistrate’s Court yesterday after denying that they violated their bail conditions while on release for separate charges of attempted murder and armed robbery.
Samuel McCoy, 33, faced Magistrate Samuel McKinney on five counts of violation of bail conditions.
It is alleged that between December 16, 2022, and January 8 of this year McCoy was found in breach of his daily curfew five times. He was on bail for charges of attempted murder and attempted armed robbery at the time.
In court the accused pleaded not guilty to all charges and was granted $7,500 bail.
McCoy’s trial will begin on February 17.
The other man, Nathaniel Thurston, 20, also appeared before Magistrate McKinney on three counts of violation of bail conditions.
It is alleged that between January 11 and 23, Thurston failed to charge his court imposed electronic monitoring device on three days. He was on bail for two armed robbery charges at the time.
In court, the accused pleaded not guilty to the charges and was granted $5,000 bail.
Thurston’s trial is also set for February 17.
