Rasbert Turner, Star Writer
The police had to rescue a man from an angry mob recently after it was alleged that he used a mango to lure a nine-year-old girl to his house in order to make sexual advances on her.
The members of the St Catherine South police had to rush to the community, near Old Harbour, St Catherine, after the mob decided they wanted to 'discipline' the man.
It is alleged that he had touched the girl inappropriately after luring her to his house by promising to give her ripe mangoes.
It is further alleged that after giving the child the fruits, he touched her upper body and made suggestive remarks to her.
Following his advances, the child was said to have managed to run from the premises and related her ordeal to her parents.
Soon thereafter, persons descended on the dwelling and demanded that he be flogged, however, the police intervened.
The accused man was taken into police custody on suspicion of sexual touching.
Woman on stabbing charge gets bail extension
Bjorn Burke, Staff Reporter
A mentally ill woman accused of stabbing two church brothers had her bail extended when she appeared before the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday.
Charged with unlawful wounding is 34-year-old Simone Allen of a Kingston address.
Allen, who appeared in court with her father, was reportedly taken into custody by the police in February after having a brief confrontation with both complainants. The accused allegedly caused a disturbance at the church resulting in members denying her entry to the building. As a result, she is alleged to have used a knife to stab both complainants causing injuries.
Allen, who was previously housed at a penal institution, was moved to a mental institution following results from a psychiatric evaluation previously ordered.
remorseful
"Miss Allen, you taking the medication?" Senior Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey asked the complainant, to which she responded with a nod.
"Mi go over to the church to tell them that I'm sorry," said a remorseful Allen.
The court heard that the accused has three sons and one of them is now being cared for by members of the church. Allen stated that she has since been prevented from seeing her child as a result of the incident. She also stated that she had returned to the church recently, begging for forgiveness.
The sitting magistrate beseeched that she be able to see her son.
"No, don't go back down there, but she must be able to see her child!" RM Pusey remarked. "Because is insanity, nuhbody nuh want have nothing fi do with her. Insanity is the kind of thing that yu nuh have control over it, yu nuh,"
Subsequently, Allen had her bail extended for her to return to court on July 24 for a mention hearing.
By the end of the proceeding, an interesting turn of events resulted in one of the male complainants embracing Allen in what appeared to be a genuine act of pardon, declaring "I forgive you, I forgive you!"
Six fined for stealing water
Six persons were convicted in the Portmore Resident Magistrate's Court recently for trespassing on the works of the National Water Commission (NWC).
According to the NWC, the accused, Nathalie Miller, Barrington Barnes, Pauline May Smith, Jennifer Rowe and Kedow Williams of Portmore and Greater Portmore, St Catherine, addresses, were all found guilty and charged a fine of $8,000 or spend 30 days in prison.
Nicole Monique Gray, also from a Portmore address, was fined $8,000 or spend 10 days in prison.
The NWC is reminding persons who continue to trespass on its network that once caught, they will be prosecuted and made to pay outstanding sums, which might have accured as a result of illegal activities.
The NWC also stated that they are willing to enter into any reasonable payment arrangement to ensure customers settle outstanding balances and to facilitate the regularisation of previous illegal connections.
Police warn public to desist from lighting open fires
The police are continuing to warn the members of the public to desist from lighting open fires, and instead find alternative methods of clearing lands and disposing of garbage.
This practice has resulted in an increased damage to property, injuries and in one case, loss of life, a release from the police has stated.
It must be noted that in addition to damage to public and private property, uncontrolled fires also damage the ecosystem, and can cause death or serious injury to persons and animals, the police said.
"This illegal practice has been exacerbated by the prolonged dry period. As such, persons are being encouraged to utilise herbicides for clearing lands, and landfills for the disposal of garbage," the release urged. Open burning, without permission, is an illegal activity and is prohibited under the Country Fires Act and the Public Health (Nuisance) Regulations."
Anyone caught burning garbage could be subject to a maximum penalty of $50,000.
Citizens are being urged to do their part in protecting the environment, properties, and more importantly, protecting lives.

Gov't urges cooperation of travellers from chikungunya-affected countries
The Ministry of Health is encouraging persons who have travelled to chikungunya affected countries and are experiencing symptoms on arrival in Jamaica to visit their doctor or nearest health centre immediately.
Director, Emergency, Disaster Management and Special Services, Dr. Marion Bullock DuCasse, is also urging persons to cooperate with health personnel who are working to reduce the possibility of spread and impact of the disease on the population.
"We are asking persons who feel they have symptoms of chikungunya to allow the health team to manage the situation by giving their full cooperation. As Jamaica has had no local transmission, we are trying to protect the population, including your own family members and others who may be have been exposed," she said.
She added that chikungunya is an important public-health issue, and so it is essential that every citizen cooperates in efforts to reduce the spread of the disease. Dr. DuCasse notes that although there is no local spread so far, more and more travel is expected during the summer months and, therefore, increased risk of transmission.
"I want to urge persons who travel to chikungunya-affected countries to protect themselves as much as possible from mosquito bites. When you travel to these countries, use insect repellent containing DEET, wear clothing that covers your body as much as possible and sleep under a mosquito net if available," she said.
Chikungunya is spread by the Aedes aegypti, which is a day- biting mosquito that will almost always be found in and around areas where people live, work and play.
Symptoms of chikungunya fever include high fever, joint pain, mainly in the hands, wrists and ankles and other joints; headache, muscle pain and a rash.

Man freed of gun charges
Rasbert Turner, Star Writer
A man who was charged with firing a gun at a man in November last year was freed yesterday in the Gun Court, after the complainant failed to convince the judge that it was the accused whom he saw with the gun on the day in question.
Freed of charges of illegal possession of firearm and assault at common-law is Wayne Nelson of Mount Horeb, St Andrew.
During the trial, the complainant could not adequately identify the person with whom he struggled on the day in question, as he admitted the man's head was down during the tussle
The accused who was represented by attorney-at-law Vincent Wellessley was then freed by the court, after it was revealed that the complainant's evidence failed to convince the trial judge that Nelson was the person who attacked him the day of the incident.
Allegations are that on January 9, 2013, the complainant was walking along the Mount Horeb main road in St Andrew.
He reportedly heard an explosion and then saw Nelson coming from bushes nearby with what appears to be a gun in his hand.
When he got closer he realised it was a gun the accused had and that he squeezed the trigger repeatedly but it did not fire
He said that a struggle started between them for the gun and then another man was observed coming towards him with a knife
The complainant reportedly ran away from the scene and reported the matter and following an investigation, Nelson was subsequently charged on November 15. He remained until he was freed.
Presiding judge was Justice Courtney Day.

She said, "Your Honour, mi nuh wah send him back a jail mi nuh really want send him back cause him jus do bout four years. Your honour, mi cant see out of my eye when I am in the sun."
Senior Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey asked the complainant, "So the relationship over the bank account closed?"

Rasbert Turner, Star Writer
A man who the police accused of stealing a battery was freed in the Spanish Town Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday, following a successful no-case submission by his attorney.
Dwayne Gardener, 35-year-old construction worker of Portmore, St Catherine, was before the courts on a charge of larceny.

Woman claims ... COPS STOLE MY TABLET
Chad Bryan, Star Writer
A woman is claiming that the police stole her daughter's tablet computer after they came to process the scene of a murder that took place along King Street in Kingston on Sunday.
In the allegations made by the woman, she claims that she was asked by the cops to leave a crime scene where she had her tablet. When she returned, she claims the device had disappeared.
The incident occurred on Sunday after a 20-year-old man, identified as Patrick Nembhard, otherwise called 'Alex', of a King Street, Kingston, died as a result of gunshot wounds he received along King Street.
It is reported that about 8:15 p.m., Nembhard was sitting among a group of friends in his community when two men armed with guns approached them. The two men opened fire at the group before they escaped.
Nembhard was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
According to the woman, police investigators told her and other persons at the establishment in which the shooting took place to vacate the premises in order for the scene to be processed.
She said the police and her boyfriend were the only ones left at the location.
It was while she had vacated the premises that the woman said she remembered that her daughter's tablet computer was left inside the building.
"The police were quick on the scene. They put up the yellow tape and they told us to stay behind it. When they were finished, I went straight to where I left the tablet because I know it was in there. I said Lord God, mi forget to take up the tablet but people were saying that it gone," she said.
She also revealed that it was a little over two weeks after her daughter's father had sent the tablet that it was stolen.
The alleged theft of the tablet was reported to the Kingston Central Police Station.
First case of virus hits Jamaica
The Ministry of Health is stating that it has detected a suspected imported case of the chikungunya virus.
Chief Medical Officer, Dr Kevin Harvey, says the case is of an individual who travelled from an affected country and fell ill. The individual had screening tests done at a private laboratory in Jamaica which indicated the illness.
A sample was taken and sent to the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) for confirmation. Should this be positive, it will confirm Jamaica's first imported case of the chikungunya virus.
"This does not indicate local spread of the virus and we continue to monitor persons living in and around areas visited by the individual. We have heightened our vector control activities to reduce the possibility of local spread," Harvey explained in a release.
The Ministry of Health has reportedly put measures in place for more than two years in anticipation of chikungunya virus reaching our shores.
Persons travelling to and from countries which have confirmed cases of the virus should ensure that they protect themselves from mosquito bites by using insect repellent containing DEET, and covering their body as much as possible by wearing long sleeved clothing for example.
There is no specific treatment for the chikungunya virus, nor is there a vaccine. Symptoms of the virus include high fever, headache, muscle pain, joint pain mainly in the limbs and large joints and a rash. Although it does not often result in death, joint pains and stiffness can last for months and even years. It may become a source of chronic pain and disability.

Bjorn Burke, Staff Reporter
No evidence was offered against a man and his babymother in a case and cross case when they appeared before the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday, after they were involved in a lovers' spat which turned physical.
Charged with assault occasioning bodily harm are Latoya Grant and Gavin Williams.
The court heard that the pair got into a heated dispute regarding Grant's unwillingness to allow Williams to see his child.
"We can't agree on anything," Grant started.
"I think you agree on a lot," Senior Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey interjected jokingly.
It is alleged that sometime during the dispute, things turned physical when Williams grabbed the hand of his babymother, bending her fingers causing pains.
"Because mi nuh see the baby for bout three weeks, she nuh want me to see the baby," Williams explained.
Williams further added that he was the sole breadwinner, stating that he was unable to meet several of her requests which lead to further conflict between them.
Grant, who acknowledged her babyfather's account of the incident, stated that they have had long-standing disputes about a number of issues, including moving from their current dwelling as she was uncomfortable there.
Taking both accounts into consideration, RM Pusey cautioned Grant stating: "If you want to live like Donald Trump, then date Donald Trump!"
Subsequently, the pair was admonished and discharged as no evidence was offered against them.
Obeah case dismissed
Three neighbours, including a mother and her daughter, were given the boot when they appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court recently on charges that sprung from a dispute over obeah.
Dorrette Tracey and Nastassia Reid, who have been charged with assault occasioning bodily harm, and unlawful wounding, and Pauline McKinley, who is charged with assault at common-law, were all told by the presiding magistrate to leave the court.
"So you really believe that she would want to obeah you?" RM Pusey asked Tracey.
No evidence was offered in the matter and RM Pusey told the accused women that they were wasting the court's time.
McKinley and her daughter, Reid, have been accused by Tracey of assaulting her.
It is alleged that the three women drew weapons at each other during a dispute at their home.
When Senior Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey asked the women why they were fighting, it was revealed that Tracey had been carrying a grudge that McKinley may have cast an obeah spell on her.
"Your Sonour, she pick up this thing that me a obeah her, but why would I want to do that when this girl use to come by my house? Your honour, a me teach this girl how to eat around dining table," McKinley told the court.
Phase Two to begin for centres of excellence
Minister of Health Dr Fenton Ferguson says about $268 million will be spent on additional infrastructure improvements and equipping of the primary-care centres of excellence under phase Two of the projects.
The funding is being provided through the National Health Fund.
"We have completed Phase One of all four of the facilities: Claremont in St Ann, Isaac Barrant in St Thomas, Darliston in Westmoreland. and Santa Cruz in
St Elizabeth. All have been officially opened. Jamaicans are now enjoying the upgraded and improved facilities that they offer," Ferguson said.
The intention is for the centres to be the first choice of access to health-care services for residents in the areas they serve so that there is an appreciable reduction in the improper use of secondary care facilities which, in the long run, will be more cost-effective.
It is also a part of efforts to improve services offered at the primary level of care.
Ferguson further explained that "the centres of excellence will be used as models to improve the surrounding health centres as we continue work to provide the best primary health-care system we can to our population".
80-y-o on rape charge - Accused of assaulting relative 30 years ago
Deon P Green, STAR Writer
When a seriously hearing impaired man in his 80s appeared in the St Thomas Circuit Court yesterday to answer charges of rape, indecent assault and carnal abuse, the judge advised that he should do whatever he could to improve his hearing as he was the one on trial.
The elderly man, Roy Edwards, stumbled his way into the dock after he had difficulty knowing his name had been called. It was evident that Justice Bertram Morrison was aware of hearing impediment as he questioned if arrangements had been put in place so that the accused man would be aware of what was happening.
The elderly man was accompanied by his wife, whom the justice asked. "How does he respond when you are speaking to him?"
"I don't know", the wife answered.
"Has he got any training in sign language?"
"No."
New date
The justice added that there was a problem as the accused had to hear what was happening, and suggested that he returns to court on July 29. The date was written down for the senior citizen to remember it.
Before the couple departed the court, the judge asked that arrangements be put in place by the defence counsel for the accused.
"The lawyer can come back and say what arrangement has been made so that he knows what is happening and whatever the accused can do to assist, he needs to do it," he said.
The judge asked the accused man's wife if any professional assistance had been sought to address the deafness. The wife said she had taken him to the hearing centre, but they couldn't afford the cost. To that the judge commented "... Something has to done as he (accused) will be on trial not me."
Edwards is accused of sexually molesting his step granddaughter in the 1980s when she was living with the couple. Edwards has reportedly denied the accusations and remains on bail.

Rasbert Turner, Star Writer
A man who is accused of stabbing another to death was ordered remanded when he appeared in the Spanish Town Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday, after he declared to the court that he only reports when he feels like it.
Martin O'Gilvie, of Valdez Road, Homestead in Spanish Town, St Catherine, was taken back into custody after he had been asked if he was fulfiling his bail conditions.
When the matter came up before Resident Magistrate Lyle Armstrong the accused was asked if he was reporting as a part of his bail conditions.
His response caused laughter when he told the court that he only reports sometimes, but takes a few days off from doing so.
He was then ordered remanded until August 21, when the matter will again be mentioned.
Allegations are that on August 13, 2012, O'Gilvie and the now deceased, Cecil Ellison, had a dispute when he left and returned with a knife to stab Ellison who died from injuries received.

Rasbert Turner, STAR Writer
A St Catherine man who was held driving a motor vehicle that had the chassis number of another in Westmoreland was remanded when he appeared in the Spanish Town Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday.
Marcus Bond, 32-year-old mechanic of Portmore, St Catherine, had his request for bail denied despite a lengthy plea from his attorney. When the matter came up before Resident Magistrate Anmarie Nembhard, she told Bond's lawyer that bail could not be considered at this time as the Crown's file was incomplete and what is before the court was not enough to inform her decision.
Bond was then told that he would have to stay with the police until July 29, by which time outstanding document from the Inland Revenue Department and the Westmoreland police would be on file.
Allegations are that on June 27, a police party doing traffic enforcement duty stopped a Honda motor car driven by the accused.

A more detailed check revealed that the chassis number as well as the licence plate belong to a Daihatsu motor car in Westmoreland.
He was subsequently arrested and charged by Corporal Andre Pinnock for forgery, unlawful possession of property and fraudulent use of licence plate.
