46-year-old Angel Espat, the Manager of Shell Gas Station in Ladyville, is facing a harm charge after he allegedly punched one of his employees in the face.
According police, Delvith Crawford reported Espat called him into the office on Monday about a complaint he received from a customer whose gas tank cover had been broken. Crawford denied it - and claims that Espat punched him in the right side of the face without any provocation.
As a result, police charged Espat with harm, and he was brought before Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer today.
Espat pleaded not guilty to the charge, and he was granted bail of $1,000, which he was able to meet.
He is expected back in court on July 5.
