Bjorn Burke, Staff Reporter

An elderly man appeared to be the subject of much pain and embarrassment when he allegedly had his dentures damaged following an argument with the defendant, who had his bail extended when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court last Thursday.

Charged with malicious destruction of property and unlawful wounding is Wayne Brown, who pleaded guilty and not guilty, respectively, to the offences.

Damaging

Reports are that on the day of the incident, it is believed that Brown and the complainant got into an argument over an undisclosed sum of money that was reportedly owed to Brown. Things came to a head when Brown allegedly punched the senior in his mouth, damaging his dentures and causing cuts to his mouth.

“So why you punch him?” asked Resident Magistrate Simone Wolfe-Reece.

“Your Honour, him have some money for me, and I can’t get the goods, and I can’t get no money,” replied Brown

“So when you punched him, you got the money?” RM Wolfe-Reece further inquired.

“No Your Honour,” a seemingly dejected Brown replied.

Subsequently, Brown had his bail extended by the sitting magistrate. He was ordered to return to court on Friday. A fingerprint order was also made.
