18 year-old Casey Lozano, an apprentice electrician of Mirage Road Extension, was today arraigned in the courtroom of Magistrate Hettie Mae Stuart of aggravated assault.
According to the police, 53 year-old Harrison Brackett, a security guard posted at Ladyville Technical High School, reported that on Wednesday January 18 at around 5:30 p.m., 3 young men entered the high school's compound. The young men then attempted to steal a bicycle wheel.
When Brackett retrieved the wheel, one of the young men, who he recognized as Lozano, pulled out a machete and attempted to chop him with it.
Brackett was able to avoid being hit, but one of the other young men picked up another bicycle and threw it on top of him. He suffered injuries to the top of head and face as a result of this attack.
3 weeks after the attack, police arrested Lozano and charged him for aggravated assault.
In court today, Lozano pleaded not guilty to the charge, and was granted bail of $3,000 plus 1 surety. He is to return to court on March 19.
