NASSAU- Convicted child abductor De’Edra Gibson has been placed on probation after she admitted to threatening to kill a prison guard while on remand.
Druneka Oliver made a complaint to police over the April 3, 2020 incident at the prison.
Gibson pleaded guilty to the charge when she appeared before Magistrate Samuel McKinney yesterday.
He placed her on probation for 18 months, and warned her that a breach of its terms would result in a six-month prison sentence.
Gibson was placed on three years’ probation in July as a part of a plea deal. She admitted to abducting four young boys and attempting to snatch a fifth boy.
Gibson, who has a history of mental illness, will be sentenced to prison for two years if she commits an offense during the period of probation.
She is also required to attend outpatient services at the Sandilands Rehabilitation Centre on a regular basis with the expectation that the court receives quarterly updates on her progress.
As part of her supervised release, Gibson has to report to the court twice a year. Her first report date is January 20, 2022.
