Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson on Monday granted $25,000 bail to a Sophia man accused of robbery with violence.

Quincy White, 25, a father of two of ‘B’ Field, Sophia pleaded not guilty to the charge when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.

It is alleged that on October 27, White robbed Abdool Nazir of a silver chain valued $10,000 and used violence to commit the act. “It was a fight me and de boy had and both we get injured and I lost me wife cell phone,” White told the court in his defence. He said too the fight started because of Nazir constantly hitting him.

However, the prosecution told the court that White had been before the court for another offence in the past.

Subsequently, he was ordered to return to Court Two on January 13.
