NASSAU-A man who admitted to threatening his 17-year-old niece has been given an absolute discharge.
Reginald Chase, 33, of Matthew Street, Nassau Village, pleaded guilty to threats of harm at his arraignment before Senior Magistrate Derence Rolle-Davis.
Chase allegedly threatened to “jook her up” the teenager while brandishing a knife on June 6.
In a police interview Chase admitted threatening his niece. However, he said that he said he would stomp her—not jook her. He also denied having a knife.
Chase’s mother made the complaint on behalf of the minor.
Last year, Mavis Chase asked a court to evict him from her home.
In a court filing, she claimed her son was verbally abusive and threatened her.
