A Georgetown porter was on Wednesday granted $50,000 bail after he was accused of threatening his father with an object the complainant believed was a firearm during a dispute at home.
Jermaine Fletcher of 252 Independence Boulevard appeared before Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, where he faced two charges of using threatening and abusive language.
The allegations stem from an incident on April 3, 2026, at the family’s Independence Boulevard residence, where Fletcher is accused of confronting his father, Keith Fletcher, and pointing an object that was believed to be a gun while making threats.
Police told the court that no firearm was recovered in connection with the matter. Despite that, the complainant reportedly insisted that the item used during the confrontation appeared to be a weapon.
The prosecution opposed bail, arguing that the accusations were serious and that keeping the accused in custody was justified. Fletcher denied both charges.
His lawyer asked the court to grant bail, telling the magistrate that Fletcher has no previous convictions and would return to court as required.
After hearing both sides, Magistrate Azore set Fletcher’s bail at $25,000 per charge, for a total of $50,000. The case was adjourned to a later date for trial.
