Man Remanded, Charged With Threatening
[Updated] In Magistrates Court this morning [Jan 16], Detroy Smith, 27, was charged with sending a threatening message to a female, and also charged with making a threatening gesture by allegedly sending that person a picture of a hand holding a gun.
Smith was not required to enter a plea to the first charge, but did plead not guilty to the second charge. However, the Prosecutor said that both charges will be sent and heard together in the Supreme Court.
The alleged offences were said to have been directed at his ex-girlfriend and mother of his child. The matter was adjourned to later this month, and after a short bail hearing, Smith was remanded into custody until that date.
Update May 2013: Mr Smith was subsequently convicted of these charges and was sentenced to six months in prison.

Something needs to be done about this “Culture of Intimidation” which has cursed Bermuda.
Quite a lot of recent stories of men allegedly abusing(sexually&physically) and threatening women and children lately. The justice system needs to send a serious message and jail these punks, if guilty, for a very long time. Takes a real coward to threaten/abuse a female.

Mind our biz….. when he allegedly threatens his ex with texts and a picture of “someone” holding a gun????? Are you serious?
Apples don’t fall far.
It is our biz fella. This story was made public via this newoutlet so therefore it is public information. Being we are the public this is now our “biz” as you so put it.
“Disagreements”? Are you for real? No wonder D is the way he is!! “Emotions” are also involved in beatings, shootings, and stranglings, Momma. Detroy, hang your head in deep shame and keep it there.
Not to worry, your still momma’s boy…
that’s half the problem “mama’s boy”, parents defending their children when they are wrong,thing is, he’s not a child and has been up on numerous gun and violence charges and you think it’s alright to threaten the life of a woman?
LOL LOL What does one expect…when you have a name like “Detroy” which sounds like a made up name to me..half Momma’s name and baby daddy name, then there is trouble abound…
What happened to names like Tom, Dick and Harry…
Maybe it was a typo and his name was supposed to be “Detroit!!”
LMAO….
His name after his father infact!!! His father is name Detroy Smith now what get a life ur a problem 2!! People like you are the reason these children men and women are running round like idiots cause people LIKE U MAKE THEM FEEL LIKE IDOITS cause of something mother or father name which they have no choice over!! Take ya idiotic a.. some where else… cause im done with bloggers runnig people down why dont u people start being positive maybe than the people around u will catch on and start being positive as well!! wishful thinking!! cause when people are down people always have to try push them down futher anyway thats my rant…
Keep Ur Head Up D!! We all make bad choices at times but its about learning from them and moving on…
Nope. They are what they learn. And you pin pointed it above; his father’s name:) Do a google search lol
@SMH..you just proved my point…who sounds like the idiot.
Children live what they learn…and at most times what they are named…hahaha
LMAO!! LOL
All names were/are made up.
Maybe it would be better if they named him something like “Apple” or “Sky” or “Lazer” like some “other” people in this world do?! What the hell does a stupid name have to do with anything?
Tom dick and harry???? Since when are those even considered normal names??
@ MadeUpNames: Perhaps you don’t realize your comment was racist.
Many non-British people decided a while back that they no longer wanted to use names associated with people who had oppressed them in slavery and for more than a century thereafter. They looked for names that reflected their culture and heritage – some from Africa and some from their own imaginations. Just because they are not your traditional names doesn’t make them any less valid, nor does it immediately indicate that they are criminals, which it appears you are implying
Ok,,,I could not help but to way in on this one,,,,,Firstly the person going by the pen Name Fan you totally discuse me ,,,its people like you I totally dispise

My advice “Get a bible and read it”
Hang in there T, keep up w the encouraging and inspirational words…be Bleesed…
You are true friend. Help this brother out I’m sure his mother told him never to hit women regardless of the circumstances. I know if he was my son I will hunt him down and bust his A$$ for being disrespectful to his child’s mother or any other woman.
HE Never TOUCHED HER HE ALLEGEDLY THREATENED HER PAY ATTENTION WRONG ARTICLE
But I agree with what u are sayin
SHOULD’NT be NO JAIL FOR THIS!
FINE HIM $5000
He has the money!
this way we the people dose not have to pay for his Offense.
It appears he didn’t learn respect or how to curb his temper since subsequently spat on an umpire. Hope his offspring have better role models.
