Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson yesterday ordered that a 34-year-old man be remanded to prison when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court charged with robbing another man at a city nightclub.
Joshua Payne of Victoria Village, East Coast Demerara pleaded not guilty to the charge of robbery with violence.
He denied that he used personal violence to rob Carl Jacobs of a wallet containing a quantity of cash and several other items, totalling $69,800.
Payne stated that he was a citizen of the US and he wanted to go back there. He also stated that he could not remember the exact lot number of the place he was staying at in Victoria.
Jacobs, who was also present in court, said he was at a nightclub in Georgetown when the incident occurred.
He alleged that he was on his way to the washroom when Payne attacked him from behind. He told the court that the accused grabbed him and dealt him several blows about his body with his fist before robbing him of the articles.
Jacobs said the accused then attempted to flee the scene but several onlookers caught him and held him down until the police came.
The magistrate ordered that Payne be remanded to prison and that he return to court on July 22.

Go back there. He will not be allowed to enter, unless it is at the Krome Detention Center or Angola.
Caesar Agustus,,,,,you are an “OL HEAD” Krome in Miami has been closed since the Cubans left, and Angola in Louisiana is a STATE JOINT,,,,,I wanted to ask you if you were ever in Oakdale 1, Oakdale 2.I was a Lieutenant there back in 1991. I was also a deportation Officer in Krome.
It’s people like these who give America a bad name.
were you born in America or Guyana, so what if he give America a bad name it already has one.
He was a citizen of uncle Sam and want to go back ? Something is wrong with this chap . Give him the appropriate jail time then send him back to Sam.
America,? we have our own dutty story here, more thieves than Guyana, see how those fools attacked and killed a husband and wife, who were taking care of 17 kids.
A Country has nothing to do with killers and thieves etc:, as it stands, the US cannot even control the abundances of thieves, drug lords, and mules etc:, u name the crime, we have it here, the amount of druggies and white angel powder snorters, we have it here, nothing new, only new days, same old runnings here.
I have accepted what I came and found for nearly 30 yrs here, what I find hard to accept, understand/comprehend, is the change in my beautiful birth Country, a once drug free living, which has been turned by the drug lords, as a haven to transport from other Countries, through Guyana to other destinations.
No one can give America a “Bad Name”, it’s not the Country, it’s those who refuses to work and be paid weekly/biweekly, instead, they find a quick methods of filling their pockets and don’t care a heck who they take down the drains.
