A 16-year-old fifth form student of Berbice Educational Institute who disobeyed her parents and then beat a female police corporal in a station, before causing uproar at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court, has been sent for observation at the National Psychiatric Hospital in Fort Canje.
This was after she was charged with assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest, and disorderly behaviour.
The teen was scheduled to make her second appearance before Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo at the New Amsterdam Court, but according to information, the charges were withdrawn because the girl was still hospitalised in the mental institution and may be unable to answer to the charges.
The court was told that on December 27, the police received a report of simple larceny. The teen was accused of taking an ATM card from her mother. She was taken to the Central Police Station in New Amsterdam.
Whilst being interviewed by woman Police Corporal Tracy Benjamin-Long, the teen became annoyed at being questioned and started using indecent language and dealt the police woman a cuff to the face and several kicks about the body.
She started to behave in a disorderly manner and resisted arrest, eventually walking out of the station. Reinforcement was summoned and she was subdued and taken back into custody.
She was charged on the three aforementioned counts and taken to court.
In court, the teen also started to behave in a disorderly manner. The matter was called in chambers.
It was decided that the teen should be sent to the National Psychiatric Hospital for observation. Outside of the courtroom she continued her ranting and raving until she was taken away for evaluation.
