BDF Corporal Jareth Tablada was shot at 10 times after he caught into a fight at Kevin’s Bar on Cemetery Road early Friday morning. And now, police have arrested the man who allegedly shot at him. 26 year old Clarence Williams Grant, a fisherman of Taylor’s Alley was charged with aggravated assault when he appeared in Magistrate’s Court today. He pleaded not guilty but was remanded because it is a firearm offence.
The Corporal told police that he got into a fight at the bar and punched down the man. Shortly after, he says Grant told him that he had punched a “gunman’s” brother and then went into Taylor’s Alley. Shortly after he returned with another man who allegedly fired 5 shots at the soldier. All of them missed as he hid behind a post in the bar. Tablada says the gunman then handed Grant the gun and he opened fire, but those shots also missed.
Police retrieved 10 nine milimeter shells form the scene.
