A MOTHER and her minor son were arraigned on Friday in the Freeport Magistrate’s Court – one for assault and the other for causing harm.

The 40-year-old Freeport woman appeared in Court Two before Magistrate Charlton Smith on the charge of assault. It is alleged that on July 5, at Freeport, the accused unlawfully assaulted Aaliyah Edgecombe.

She pleaded not guilty to the offence.

Her son, a juvenile aged 17, was charged with causing harm. He was not required to enter a plea to the charge, and is expected to appear before the next sitting of the Juvenile Panel on August 8 when he will enter a plea.

Carlson Shurland represented the pair. He asked the judge to grant reasonable bail to both mother and son.
