Teen Accused in Deadly Weapon Assault

A 17-year-old teen faced serious charges in court after allegedly pulling a gun on a woman in New Providence on May 21st — accused of assault with a deadly weapon. He pleaded not guilty, and while his bail was set at just $500, it came with strict conditions: weekly police check-ins, a nightly curfew from 9 PM to 5 AM, and a ban from contacting the victim or anyone involved. His grandmother stood by him during the hearing, presided over by Magistrate Abigail Farrington. The case, handled by Assistant Superintendent Kendrick Bauld and defended by Mark Penn, is scheduled for trial on July 13th — a sobering moment for a young person confronting the legal system.
