A man accused of the rape and armed robbery of a policewoman told a judge yesterday that he has been unable to comply with the conditions of his bail.
Audley Ward, of Price Street, Nassau Village, was released on $20,000 bail on April 25 on the condition that he reports to the South Beach Police Station on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays and wears a GPS ankle bracelet.
However, Ward told Senior Justice Jon Isaacs that he could not meet the reporting conditions because he did not have any government-issued identification.
Ward said police officers would not allow him to sign in without presenting identification. According to Ward, police seized his passport when they arrested him in July 2011.
Isaacs advised Ward to continue reporting to the station in compliance with the court order.
The judge directed prosecutor Jillian Williams to get Ward's passport from police or alternatively his mug shot.
Prosecutors allege that Ward and Dominic Thompson raped the officer after they broke into her home in southwestern New Providence on July 3, 2011.
The men are also accused of robbing the woman of a 2008 Honda Accord, jewelry and a digital camera, with a combined value of $19,800. They also face a charge of receiving the stolen car between July 3 and July 14.
