A MAN was granted bail after being accused of attacking his former girlfriend last month and stealing cash from her by force.
Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley arraigned Rodrecco Taylor, 34, on charges of robbery with violence, grievous harm, and threats of death.
Prosecutors allege that during a verbal altercation on February 18, Taylor punched the complainant multiple times in the face and choked her. He also allegedly threatened to kill her before stealing $100.
The complainant reportedly suffered injuries as a result of the attack.
Taylor pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Bail was set at $5,000 with one or two sureties. Under the conditions of his release, he must sign in at the East Street South Police Station every Friday by 6pm and is prohibited from interfering with the complainant or any witnesses.
His trial is set to begin on May 5.
Glendon Rolle represented the accused, while Assistant Superintendent of Police Pratt prosecuted the case.
