A MAN was ordered yesterday to compensate someone he pulled a switchblade on in the area of Yamacraw Beach Drive last week.
Assistant Chief Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans arraigned 23-year-old Antonio Rolle Jr on a charge of assault with a dangerous instrument.
Rolle assaulted Basil Saunders with a multicoloured switchblade knife on Barry Avenue on March 22.
He pleaded guilty to the charge and apologised for his actions.
After scolding him for the seriousness of the offence, Magistrate Vogt-Evans ordered Rolle to pay the complainant $500 or face three months in prison.
He was also bound to keep the peace for one year. If he breaches that order, he will face a three-month prison term.
Rolle is expected to return to court on March 31 to make the payment.
Assistant Superintendent of Police S Coakley served as the prosecutor.
