Driver gave cop fake license during traffic stop

NASSAU-A graphic design student who gave a policeman a fake driver’s license during a traffic stop has been sentenced to two years of probation.

Takiyah Armbrister, 21, of Fox Hill, pleaded guilty to possession of a forged document and uttering a forged document at his arraignment before Magistrate Samuel McKinney.

Armbrister will have to pay a $1,500 fine to avoid spending three months in prison if he breaches the terms of his probation.

On March 22 Sergeant 3506 Arnold Nesbitt pulled over Armbrister for driving along University Boulevard without his seatbelt fastened.

Armbrister gave the officer the bogus license and a subsequent name check revealed that he had two outstanding traffic warrants.

As a result, Armbrister was taken to the Grove Police Station.

Further investigations revealed that Armbrister’s driver’s license was a forgery.

Officials from the Road Traffic Department confirmed that Armbrister had never been issued a driver’s license.

However, he was issued a learner’s permit, which has since expired.

Armbrister claimed that he got the fake driver’s license from someone he knew.

During a Zoom presentation to the National Drug Council, ASP Adrian Miller displayed photos of the men whom he claimed were part of the hierarchy of various street gangs.

However, most of the men whose photos were displayed have no criminal convictions. So, Miller’s claims are unproven accusations.

Gang membership is a criminal offense that can attract a penalty of up to 20 years imprisonment and a $500,000 fine.

HSome of the men named by Miller have contacted lawyers about commencing a defamation lawsuit.

Murdered man’s brother charged in revenge shooting

NASSAU- The brother of a man who was shot to death in 2017 faces attempted murder charges in a revenge shooting.

London Rahming, 24, was denied bail on Friday, March 18, at his initial court appearance before Senior Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans.

The charges stem from a March 14 shooting at the Jerome Avenue home of Renaldo Georges.

He was acquitted of being an accessory after the fact in the May 4, 2017 murder of Leo Rahming after the trial judge found there was insufficient evidence to turn the case over to the jury.

Despite the acquittal, Rahming still appears to hold Georges responsible for his brother’s murder.

In a video live-streamed from his Facebook account, Rahming pulls up the home and says, “Turn your [expletive] in ‘bey’ because I gon’ kill you.”

Rahming then produces a handgun and fires four shots at the home before riding off.

Three people were home at the time of the incident. However, none of them were injured.

Rahming was arrested a short time after the shooting.

He’s charged with the attempted murders of Renaldo Georges, Evene Georges and Gerriah Adderley.

Rahming is also charged of possession of a firearm to endanger their lives.

He next returns to court on May 30 and is represented by Bjorn Ferguson.
