Man admits hitting woman with shovel

NASSAU- A man who hit the mother of his child with a shovel during an argument has been sentenced to six months’ probation.

Police arrested Michael Miller on October 28 in reference to the assault that took on September 4 at West Bay Street.

Miller, of Carmichael Road, pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous instrument at his arraignment before Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain.

The prosecution did not have any details about the extent of the woman’s injuries.

In mitigation, Miller’s attorney Jomo Campbell said that “some relationships will not survive this lockdown.”

Campbell said that the landscaper and mason was remorseful about the incident.

Magistrate Swain ordered Miller to attend anger management classes during his probation. He’ll face two months in prison for violating his probation.

Additionally, Miller has to pay his victim $500 in compensation to avoid spending 30 days in prison.
