NASSAU-A man who stabbed his love rival has been jailed for three months.
Rudolph Roberts, 26, stabbed Rino McDonald on the shoulder during an argument over his girlfriend on May 12.
The court heard Roberts told investigators that Mr McDonald was “a snake” and was “talking to his girlfriend” behind his back.
Police charged Roberts with simple assault because they didn’t have a hospital form to prove the extent of his injuries.
Roberts pleaded guilty to assault when he appeared before Senior Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans.
Roberts acknowledged that he was wrong for his actions, but he claimed that he had already apologised to Mr McDonald.
Roberts alleged that Mr McDonald had caused tension in his two-year relationship with his girlfriend.
He said that Mr McDonald had falsely told his girlfriend that he was cheating.
After learning of the betrayal, Roberts said he “flew into a rage.”
The magistrate told Roberts that she understood why he was aggravated but he shouldn’t have acted on his emotions.
She ordered that he take anger management classes while in prison.
Roberts faced additional charges but denied them.
Prosecutors say on May 16, he unlawfully entered the home on Douglaria Adderley at Fox Hill and assaulted her.
On May 11, prosecutors allege that Roberts assaulted Romel Moss with a pistol.
He’s accused of violating the national curfew by being away from his home at 10pm on July 21.
Magistrate Vogt-Evans set all of those matters for trial on October 24.
