A ‘Mash’ day outing has led to a police constable being charged for allegedly assaulting his wife, and using obscene language towards her in public.
Eon Jacobs appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts yesterday before the Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan where he pleaded not guilty to two charges which were read to him.
It was alleged that on February 23, last, at Vlissengen Road, Georgetown, he unlawfully assaulted Amanda Morris-Jacobs. Also on the same date and at the same location, he used obscene language towards her, thereby provoking a breach of the peace.
The unrepresented defendant told the court that he is 29 years old and resides at Lot 123 Middle Road, La Penitence. He also stated that he is a police constable attached to the Mounted Branch.
According to police prosecutor Gordon Mansfield, on the day in question, the parties attended a parade at the location. A heated argument ensued between the couple and Jacobs allegedly began to assault his wife. He then began to use obscene language towards her and as she attempted to walk away from him, he reportedly picked up a piece of wood and threw it at her, hitting the victim on her foot.
The magistrate after listening to the information put to the court, released the defendant on self-bail and instructed him to make his next court appearance on May 20.
