‘Marley’ facing charges after allegedly threatening woman with illegal gun

ST CATHERINE, Jamaica — A 30-year-old gas distributor has been charged after allegedly grabbing a woman by the throat and brandishing a gun.

Colin Nosworthy otherwise called ‘Marley’ of Gregory Park, St Catherine, has been charged with possession of a prohibited weapon, assault at common law, unlawful wounding, and assault occasioning bodily harm, following the incident in his community on April 2.

Reports from the Caymanas police are that about 2:00 pm, a woman and her relative had a dispute in which Nosworthy intervened.

He reportedly grabbed the woman by her neck, pulled a firearm from his waistband, pointed it at her, and threatened to kill her.

Passers-by who reportedly witnessed the altercation assisted the woman to the station, where a report was made to the police.

Nosworthy was later arrested during a targeted operation and was subsequently charged.

His court date is being finalised.
