Yearwood's attorney, sited health complications- being that Yearwood is a diabetic- and family circumstances- being that he is the sole provider for his two children- as reasons for his bail to be approved. Barrow Chung also submitted that police evidence against Yearwood leaves much to be desired. Police, he said, acted solely on the statement given by Yearwood's ex and did not take statements from the ex's mother or sister who were present at the time.

As viewers may remember, Yearwood was detained by police last week after he allegedly pulled out his licensed firearm on his ex during a brief altercation. Yearwood was subsequently charged with aggravated assault. Today he was released on bail of $10 thousand plus 2 sureties. As part of his bail requirements he is to report to the Queen Street Police Station on a weekly basis every Friday, he is to have no direct or indirect contact with the complainant and he is not to be charged with any other indictable offence while on bail.
