A 66-year-old man accused of escaping from the Nassau Street Police Station last week was remanded to prison on Friday.
Prosecutors allege Henry Wright escaped from the police station around 10am on June 11 while in custody in connection with a crime.
Later that same day, Wright allegedly resisted arrest, cursed Reserve Sergeant 1624 Laroda on South Street and behaved in a disorderly manner.
Wright pleaded not guilty to escape from lawful custody, resisting arrest, obscene language and disorderly behaviour before Assistant Chief Magistrate Kara Turnquest Deveaux.
Sergeant 3004 Forbes, the prosecutor, objected to bail, citing the seriousness of the offences.
Wright was denied bail and remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
He returns for trial on September 16.
