Ricky Venceroy Phillips of Jackson Tenantry Road, St Michael, appeared before Magistrate Manila Renee in the No. 2 District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court and admitted to assaulting Lawrence Alleyne on May 30.

He however denied using unlawful violence towards Alleyne and Shamekah Bishop, and that his conduct would have caused persons of reasonable firmness at the scene to fear for their personal safety.
