Larceny charge dismissed against Durant

Mark Durant, a man who police had previously issued a wanted bulletin for in relation to the missing teen Tenisha Morgan, was brought before the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court yesterday on a simple larceny charge which was subsequently dismissed on the grounds of mistaken identity.

Durant, 33, of Lot 170 Barr Street, Kitty pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to him by Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson-Ogle.

Attorney-at-law Mark Waldron advised the court that it had come to his knowledge that the virtual complainant, a restaurant owner, did not wish to proceed with the matter because it was a case of mistaken identity.
