A 24-year-old resident of Deanes Village, St Michael, has been granted bail following his not guilty plea to a robbery charge. Shiloh Payne stands accused of unlawfully taking possessions from Sherwin McDonald on October 3, 2025, with the alleged stolen items including a cellphone, wristwatch, wallet, and additional personal effects valued at approximately $1,055.
During proceedings at the Oistins Magistrates’ Court presided over by Acting Chief Magistrate Deidre McKenna, Payne secured his release under a $3,000 bail arrangement requiring a surety. The court imposed specific conditions for his release, mandating that he report to District A Police headquarters every Saturday before noon until the case is resolved.
The judicial process will continue at the No. 2 District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court, where the matter has been transferred for full hearing. The case is scheduled to be heard on April 16, marking the next phase in the legal proceedings against Payne, who maintains his innocence regarding the allegations.
