An El So­cor­ro, San Juan man was sent to the St Ann’s Hos­pi­tal for a psy­chi­atric eval­u­a­tion yes­ter­day, af­ter he be­came the third per­son to ap­pear in court charged with mak­ing threats against the life of Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Gary Grif­fith.

Keny­on Lewis, 33, ap­peared be­fore Port-of-Spain Mag­is­trate Sa­nara Toon-Mc­Quilkin charged with mis­use of a tele­phone.

Just as she had done with that last per­son who ap­peared be­fore her on a sim­i­lar charge, Toon-Mc­Quilkin re­mand­ed Lewis, a res­i­dent of Singh Trace, in­to cus­tody at the St Ann’s Hos­pi­tal for an eval­u­a­tion.

The court heard that around 3.30 am last Fri­day, an E999 op­er­a­tor at the Com­mand Cen­tre re­ceived a call from a man who threat­ened the Com­mis­sion­er’s life. An in­ves­ti­ga­tion was launched and Lewis was ar­rest­ed in a bar in El So­cor­ro lat­er in the day. The charge was laid by Sgt Williams, of the Port-of-Spain Crim­i­nal In­ves­ti­ga­tions De­part­ment.

Last week, for­mer med­ical stu­dent Mahin­dra Ram­nath was al­so re­mand­ed to St Ann’s af­ter he ap­peared be­fore Toon-Mc­Quilkin charged with mak­ing a death threat against Grif­fith and his wife Nicole Dy­er-Grif­fith.

A 12-year-old boy from Port-of- Spain is al­so await­ing sen­tenc­ing af­ter plead­ing guilty mak­ing death threats against Grif­fith last week.
