MONTEGO BAY, St James — A bar owner who took issue with how a disappointed patron manhandled a gaming machine in his place of business is now before the court facing charges of unlawful wounding.

On Wednesday, Laurice Johnson — who is represented by attorney Michael Hemmings — appeared before Judge Natiesha Fairclough-Hylton who scheduled the case for trial on May 28 in the St James Parish Court. Johnson’s bail has been extended pending the hearing.

He is charged with unlawful wounding in relation to an incident alleged to have occurred at a Barnett Street bar in St James on February 19, approximately 8:30 pm.
