A waitress was on Friday fined for threatening behaviour and released on bail on charges of assault and simple larceny.

Sherry Ann Marks, of Lot 123 Middle Road, La Penitence, appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, where she was fined $10,000 or an alternative two weeks in prison after she admitted to threatening behaviour toward Seon Hackett on August 6th at Shiv Chanderpaul Drive, Georgetown.

She was also charged with unlawfully assaulting Hackett. She denied the charge.

It was also alleged that on July 31st, at Vlissengen Road, Georgetown, she stole a cellphone, valued $60,000, which was the property of Collin Woolford.

Marks pleaded guilty “with explanation” and told the court that she had collected the cellphone and walked away with it by mistake. “I did not steal it,” she said, before adding that she simply never got a chance to return the phone. 

She was granted her release on $10,000 bail on the assault charge and is to return to court on September 2nd, while she was released on $35,000 bail on the simple larceny charge, which will continue on September 20th.
