After almost a month at large, the teenager who allegedly pushed away his prison escort and made a dash to freedom from the Supreme Court Complex was remanded when he appeared in the District “A” Magistrates’ Court last Saturday.

Rovaldo Rahkim Roberts, 18, of Grants Gap, Westbury Road, St Michael, was not required to plead to the charge that being a known prisoner lawfully in custody, having been remanded to HMP Dodds on a charge of serious indecency, he escaped custody without the use of force on July 31.

He was the subject of at least two police wanted bulletins.

Magistrate Douglas Frederick remanded the accused to HMP Dodds until September 25. (HLE)
