31 year-old Corporal Darrell "Tutsi Usher, is out of bail tonight after he was taken to court today for allegedly beating up a school teacher. According to the teacher, at around 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 25, she was at a wake for Mark McKoy, one of the men who died in that terrible Western Highway accident along with Emmerson Jones and Pastor Godwin Flowers.
The teacher reported to police that without warning, Usher approached her chair. He allegedly punched her in the left temple area, and kicked her in the stomach. According to her, Usher apparently was misinformed that she had insulted him earlier that day. She sought medical attention, and the doctor classified her injuries as wounding. After 2 weeks of investigation, Police arrested and charged Usher.
He was arraigned today before Chief Magistrate Anne Marie Smith, who granted him bail of $1,000, which he was able to meet.
He is due back in court on July 8, 2013.
If Usher seems recognizable, he should. He has a pending lawsuit against the Reporter Newspaper, in which he claims that his character was defamed when his name was printed in connection with the death of Christopher Galvez. Usher was never charged, nor was he ever detained in connection with the death of Galvez.
