Despite being dragged down the stairs by her lover, a woman declined to give further evidence in the matter, whereby the said man has been charged for assaulting her. Damien Allicock of 153 James Street, Albouystown, appeared before Magistrate Judy Latchman yesterday to face the charge for assault against his common law wife, Alicia Adams. He pleaded guilty.
The prosecution stated that the defendant was confronted with the said charges but denied. The report revealed that “he dragged her down a stairway,” the prosecution said. In his defence, Allicock responded, “I didn’t drag her down the step. The stairs got five steps and she was on the second and I pull her towards me.”
The Magistrate then asked Adams if she would like to say anything but she simply declined.
Upon Adams’s response, both parties were asked to be seated until the final decision was made.
After an approximately 10 minute break, the matter was recalled. When asked if he had previous brushes with the law, the defendant replied that he had a matter before the court since 2009 but that the court case was almost concluded.
Further inquiries revealed that Allicock had not been attending court and that his matter was still pending before the court.
His common law wife at this point, had a change of heart and decided to intervene. “Your worship, I don’t want no problem with him.” She then asked that the matter be dropped since she did not want to lead any evidence against him.
Though the Magistrate took her remarks into consideration, bail was refused and Allicock was remanded to prison due to pending cases.
