Convict fined $25,000 for wounding a woman

Julian Browne was ordered to pay a fine of $25,000 or spend three months in prison when he appeared before Magistrate Priya Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court charged with wounding a woman.

He pleaded guilty to an unlawful assault charge which said that he unlawfully and maliciously assaulted Marcie Alfonso so as to cause her actual bodily harm on November 17.

He stated that on the day in question he was involved in a fight with another man and  the man dealt him a lash with a piece of wood. He said that while the man was attempting to flee the scene he picked up a brick and threw it towards the man but instead of hitting him, it struck Alfonso.

The magistrate then told Browne that hurling a brick into a crowd of people in an attempt to hit a specific person is a reckless act and  he should desist from doing so.

On his way out of the courtroom Browne stated, “I is a very important man and gah things fuh do cause I is a CIA agent from de US.”
