Wayne on April 23, 2009 in Georgetown allegedly discharged a loaded firearm at Emit Sawyer with intent to maim, disfigure or cause bodily harm.

On the same day and place, armed with a gun, Wayne  allegedly  robbed Roysdale Sutton of one gold band and a gold ring worth a  total of $140,000, property of Sutton.

An unrepresented Wayne applied for bail but Police Prosecutor, Inspector Joel Ricknauth objected on the grounds that the type of offence committed by the defendant was prevalent.
The magistrate then denied Wayne’s bid for bail and set his date for trial on April 22.
