Alleged Elderly Attacker Eugene Tillett Gets Bail
posted (August 24, 2018)
He is accused of robbing an elderly man in his driveway, but, today in the Supreme Court, 41 year old Eugene Anthony Tillett, managed to secure bail.

His attorney had to fight for it, but in the end he was unable to post bail, so he remains on remand tonight.

Here's what happened in court: his attorney Dickie Bradley presented arguments to Justice Herbert Lord, as to why his client who has a rap sheet of more than 10 pages should get bail.

In the end Bradley was successful in securing bail but the Prosecutor for the DPP's office, Janelle Tillett showed the court that the defendant owed the court over $5,000.

But Tillett had served the over $5,000 owed in fine in jail time and with that Justice Lord granted Tillett bail in the sum of $15,000 plus one surety of the same amount.

He has to report to the Queen Street Police Station three times per week, and he is also on curfew from 8:30 at night to 6:00 in the morning.

But that is when he finally meets bail, because, Tillett could not post the $15,000 and was sent back to jail.

Yesterday, Tillett was arraigned and remanded for the armed robbery of 79-year-old Harold Williams.
