NASSAU-A married man who threatened to kill his lover has been put on probation for six months.
Christopher Gibson, 34, of Third Street, The Grove, pleaded guilty to making threats of death to Deandra McPhee on May 26.
McPhee told police that “her fling” made the threat after he learned that she filed a police report claiming he had slashed her tires.
As a result, McPhee returned to police and reported the death threat.
Defense lawyer Ian Cargill said Gibson was remorseful.
Cargill said the charges arose from a “sweetheart spat.”
According to Cargill, the married father-of-three lived with McPhee while separated from his wife.
Before passing sentence, Senior Magistrate Derence Rolle-Davis asked Gibson if he had “any reason to see her again.”
Gibson said McPhee frequented his neighborhood. Gibson said he had kicked McPhee out after he caught her cheating.
The magistrate sentenced Gibson to six months of probation. He’ll serve six months in prison if he violates probation.
Rolle-Davis warned, “Don’t have any dealings with her Mr. Gibson. Otherwise, you might not be so blessed. Woman could lead you to prison.”
