NASSAU- The man accused of killing a Cabinet Minister’s brother has admitted to violating his bail conditions.
Police arrested Lynden “Peanut” Williams on July 21 for staying out past his 10pm curfew.
Williams, 24, is charged with the August 4, 2018 murder of Cabreo Wells, the brother of Health Minister Renward Wells at Ridgeland Park.
Williams told Magistrate Samuel McKinney that he broke his curfew after he had an argument with his girlfriend at their home.
Williams claimed that he went to sleep in his car following their dispute.
Police arrested him when he went to buy “something to smoke” to calm himself down from a nearby shop around 12:30am.
Williams said the police stopped his car when he turned through the corner.
The magistrate told Williams that the offense carried a maximum penalty of two years’ imprisonment and a $50,000 fine.
However, Magistrate McKinney did not impose the maximum penalty due to Williams’ early guilty plea and the nature of the violation.
Instead, he fined Williams $2,500 or six months in prison.
