A beverage vendor was on Wednesday freed of a charge after the virtual complainant told the court that the man was innocent.
Derwin Benons, 28, of Lot 298 Meadow Brook Drive, Meadow Brook Gardens, Georgetown, had previously been remanded by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan for allegedly discharging a loaded firearm. However, on Wednesday, when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court, the man who made the complaint told the court that Benons did not shoot at him.
It is alleged that on July 28, at Bamboo Drive, Meadow Brook Gardens, Georgetown, while in the company of another, Benons discharged a loaded firearm in the direction of Kenneth Reid, with intent to maim, disfigure, or cause grievous bodily harm.
