Pinelands man remanded for threatening traffic warden's life while on duty. Rico Omar Sealy pleaded guilty and awaits sentencing on September 11. Apologized, citing stress as a factor.
Threatening the life of a traffic warden while on duty has landed a Pinelands man on remand at Dodds pending sentence.
Rico Omar Sealy, of 43 Golden Rock, Pine, St Michael will find out his fate on September 11 when he makes his next appearance before Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes.
Sealy pleaded guilty in the No. 1 District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court on Monday to telling Larisa Moore-Franklyn on Friday: “I would shoot you. I ain’t care nothing ‘bout wunna. I would shoot you,” which caused her to believe that immediate violence would be used against her.
The prosecutor told the court that Moore-Franklyn was carrying out her duties when the incident occurred.
Sealy, who is known to the court, apologised for his actions saying: “I was stressed . . .”
