An ABACO man who slapped his coworker during an argument on the job was yesterday ordered to keep the peace for one year.
Ashton Forbes, 31, was arrested after he assaulted his coworker on December 22.
He admitted to the offence during a hearing before Magistrate Samuel McKinney.
The court heard the incident took place around 4.30pm at Margarita Villas where Rolle and the complainant are employed. The prosecution said at the time, both men got into an argument and Rolle slapped the complainant in his face during the verbal altercation. Rolle’s actions prompted his coworker to file an official complaint with police. Officers investigating the matter arrested the defendant later that afternoon. In an interview with police, he admitted assaulting the man on the day in question.
