Army Cpl pleads not guilty to 4 charges

Gordon appeared in the Fourth Court before Magistrate Margaret Alert who adjourned the matter to March 29. Police charged him with assaulting Police Constable David Nagassar, behaving in a disorderly manner, using insulting language and resisting arrest.

Gordon, of the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force, first appeared before a Justice of the Peace in the said court on Monday afternoon and was granted $25,000 own bail to cover all charges.

The matter was adjourned to yesterday for Gordon to appear before a magistrate.

It is alleged that on Sunday night, Cpl Brian Singh and PC Nagassar, both of the Ste Margaret’s Police Station, had responded to a report of a disturbance at Dave’s Bar located at Hermitage Road, Claxton Bay.

While the officers were carrying out their duties, Gordon allegedly intervened and committed the offences for which police charged him. Cpl Singh and PC Nagassar laid the charges.
