18 year-old Tyrone Meighan, a laborer of Banak Street, and who is no stranger to the police, was remanded into custody today after he was arraigned in the courtroom of Magistrate Hettie Mae Stuart for aggravated assault with a firearm.

According to police on February 20, he allegedly committed the assault against Mellissa Jones.

In court, Meighan pleaded not guilty to the charge, and Magistrate Stuart informed him that he was not eligible for bail at the Magistrate's level due to the nature of the offense.

He was remanded, and he is to return to court on March 27.

It must be noted that, according to police, another female also reported that on February 17, Meighan, and his brother Ellis, approached her on Banak Street and pointed a 9mm pistol at her.

He reportedly said quote, "I wah kill all ah unu." End quote. Both females escaped unhurt and did not press charges.
