Man Remanded After Drug-Fueled Assault | Barbados News

A Canadian tourist was indecently assaulted by Jeffrey David Yearwood in Bridgetown’s Fairchild Street area — a shocking incident that unfolded while he was high on drugs. Though the victim bravely fought back and called for help, Yearwood, who admitted to using marijuana and cocaine, claimed it was a mistake and begged for bail, citing his role as a family man. But the magistrate made it clear: intoxication doesn’t excuse violence, especially when it involves violating someone’s safety. With a prior assault conviction and the gravity of the offense now falling under Magistrates’ Court jurisdiction, Yearwood was remanded to prison until September 10th — a stark reminder that no one is above the law, not even when impaired.
