Accused of throwing a piece of wood at his wife and using obscene language towards her, a police constable was yesterday granted self-bail on the charges.
Eon Jacobs, 29, was read the two charges, which relate to incidents that occurred on the same day.
The first charge stated that on February 23, at Vlissengen Road, Kitty, he unlawfully assaulted Amanda Morris-Jacobs.
It is further alleged that the accused also made use of obscene language to the woman.
Jacobs, who is stationed at the Mounted Branch, denied the allegations read to him by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
While Police Prosecutor Gordon Mansfield made no objections to bail being granted, he stated that as it relates to the assault matter, the accused threw a piece of wood at the complainant, which hit her left foot.
Having heard from the prosecutor, the Chief Magistrate released the accused on self-bail.
The matters are set to be called again before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus on May 20.
