A 24-year-old woman was remanded after pleading guilty to stabbing a high student in the leg.

The woman, Danielle Warren, told Senior Parish Judge Lori-Ann Cole-Montague that she stabbed the teenager on October 6, because she was told he and some other boys were “ganging” her brother.

Warren said she saw her brother’s friend who told her about the incident. Warren told the court that she then saw one of the boys involved in the incident and “grabbed him and asked him what him and mi bredda have.”

She said before the boy could answer, her brother’s friend punched him in his face and she started to hit him. When he fell, according to Warren, she stabbed him with the knife she had on her key chain.

Warren was charged with wounding with intent and possession of an offensive weapon. She pleaded guilty to both charges when she appeared in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on Tuesday.

Advising the woman of the seriousness of the charges, Cole-Montague told her if the matter was before the Home Circuit Court, she could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.

“Was it nice in the lock-up?” The judge asked.

“No ma’am,” Warren answered, to which the judge inquired as to the reason it was not desirable.

“Because there is a lot of mosquitoes and the bed hard,” she said.

“Youth is really wasted on the young,” Cole-Montague responded.

For the charge of possession of an offensive weapon, Warren was fined $3,000 or 10 days imprisonment.

Warren was remanded and is to return to court on November 14 when it is anticipated that the file will be completed. A fingerprint order was also made for her.
