NASSAU-A murder suspect has admitted breaching his bail conditions by failing to sign in at a police station for six months.
Police learned that Perez Major had not complied with his bail conditions when they arrested him for another crime.
Prosecutors allege that the 45-year-old threatened Andy Carey with grievous harm on June 2.
Major denied making the threat when he appeared before Senior Magistrate Derence Rolle-Davis on June 10.
The magistrate remanded Major into custody and he returns to court on September 9 for the start of his trial.
Major, of Driggs Hill, Andros, pleaded guilty to violating his bail. He’s accused of killing Stephan Forbes in 2015.
A Supreme Court judge granted Major bail in January 2017 and required him to wear an ankle bracelet in addition to signing in at the police station.
Asked to explain his failure to report to the station, Major said he didn’t have a ride to get there.
Bail violators could face prison sentences up to $50,000 and a maximum sentence of five years’ imprisonment.
The magistrate did not impose a fine or sentence. Instead, Rolle-Davis told Major that the prosecution would have to ask the Supreme Court to revoke his bail.
