Magistrate Kara Turnquest-Deveaux charged Cardrin Munroe, 34, with assault with a dangerous instrument, threats of death and damage.

Tye Pinder-Mackey represented the accused.

Munroe assaulted Joseph Plant with a cutlass and threatened him with death on the night of July 9 in Staniard Creek, Andros. During the incident, Munroe caused $475 worth of damage to the rear metal door of Plant’s grey 2012 Suzuki Swift.
