Discover the details of this controversial case and the defence’s arguments.
In a dramatic turn of events, a judge has granted Tashana Hylton bail set at $100,000 following
a heated altercation with a policewoman at a school in St. Catherine. This incident, captured on
video, has stirred significant public interest and raised questions about the circumstances
leading to the confrontation.
Charged with Multiple Offenses
The 30-year-old Hylton faces several serious charges, including disorderly conduct, assault occasioning bodily harm, and malicious destruction of property. On Monday, June 17, during a meeting at the school, the police escorted her off the premises due to her alleged disruptive behaviour.
Court Proceedings and Bail Conditions
Hylton appeared in court today, where her attorney, Denise Hinson, successfully argued for her release on bail. As part of the bail conditions, the court has ordered Hylton to surrender her travel documents and submit to fingerprinting. She is scheduled to return to court on July 9.
Defense’s Argument
Attorney Hinson painted a picture of a desperate and aggrieved woman, detailing how the complainant, the female police officer, allegedly beat and even bit Hylton. Hinson emphasized that Hylton’s actions were in self-defence and stemmed from a moment of desperation, making her a suitable candidate for bail.
Details of the Incident
The court learned that a police team, including the female officer involved in the tussle, arrived at the school to remove Hylton. The situation escalated when Hylton allegedly resisted arrest after someone struck her in the face and grabbed her by the hair. The chaotic scene led to Hylton’s arrest and subsequent charges.
Next Steps
As the legal process unfolds, all eyes will be on the upcoming court date to see how the case progresses. Hylton’s defence team expects to argue vigorously on her behalf, potentially shedding more light on the events that led to the confrontation.
