Man in court for breaking cop’s nose

Kerry Perrot, 25, appeared before Senior Magistrate Nanette Forde-John who read to him the charge that on Saturday, he assaulted Police Constable Lee- Lum of the San Fernando CID.

The charge arose from an incident in which the officer was attacked inside the San Fernando Police Station and he suffered a broken nose bridge.

The magistrate also read to Perrot another charge that he was in possession of 15.59 grammes of cocaine. A third charge read to him alleged that he was in possession of 3.7 grammes of marijuana.

The three charges arose from an incident on Saturday in which Perrot was arrested and taken to the station where he was placed in a cell. Yesterday, the court police prosecutor attorney Cleyon Seedan, objected to bail being granted on the grounds that the police complainant Corporal Roger Nanan, needed to conduct a search of the criminal record, if any, of the accused .

The magistrate, however, granted Perrot bail in the sum of $45,000 to reappear on May 1.
