A beggar, who apologised in court for using threatening behaviour towards a hospital guard, was fined for the offence when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court yesterday.
Devon Lawrence, who the court heard is a homeless man, appeared before Principal Magistrate Faith McGusty and admitted to a charge that on October 7th at the Georgetown Public Hospital, he used threatening behaviour towards Andre Fraser.
Lawrence, in addressing the court, said that he was begging for food as he usually does at the hospital. He said that he was “real sorry” for what transpired and asked the magistrate to place him on community service.
