NASSAU- A man on bail for attempted murder and armed robbery is back in custody on a new charge.
Prosecutors allege that Rasheed Watson tried to run over philanthropist Demetrius Smith with an ice cream van on July 11. The incident allegedly happened at the Coral Harbour roundabout.
Watson pleaded not guilty to the charge at his arraignment before Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain.
At the time of the alleged incident, Watson, 21, of Dignity Gardens, was already on bail for allegedly trying to kill Smith during an armed robbery at his home on February 9, 2020.
An assailant stabbed Smith and took his Chevrolet Tahoe, which had $2,500 inside.
Police arrested the suspect after the vehicle crashed into a wall during a pursuit.
Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain remanded Watson to prison because he had allegedly reoffended while on bail.
Watson, however, can seek bail in the Supreme Court.
He returns to court on October 7.
