Man denies approaching witness in shooting case

Correction: A photo attached to a previous post misidentified Fenton D Ferguson, 44, as Fenton D Ferguson, 21. They are father and son. We apologize for the error.

NASSAU- A man has denied trying to convince a woman not to testify against his son.

Prosecutors say that Fenton Ferguson, 44, of Spice Street, Pinewood Gardens attempted to get Denise Terveus to agree not to testify in a judicial proceeding.

He pleaded not guilty to a charge of corruption of a witness and was granted $4,000 bail. Ferguson returns to court for trial in July.

Ferguson’s son, Fenron Ferguson, is accused of shooting at Terveus and another woman in a domestic incident on April 4.

Prosecutors intend to fast-track his case to the Supreme Court in May.
