We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) candidate Bryan Mackintosh also known as “Bryan Maxx” and social media commentator, Mikhail Rodrigues called “Guyanese Critic” today appeared before Magistrate Leron Daly at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court to face charges in relation to an altercation between them over the weekend.
Mackintosh, represented by Attorney Dawn Cush, was charged with using abusive language towards Rodrigues’ colleague OC Rogers and provoking both Rodrigues and Rogers with the intent to insult or annoy them during an incident on August 23 at Laluni Street, Georgetown.
He denied the allegations and was placed on $15,000 bail on each charge.
On the other hand, Rodrigues, represented by Attorney Bernard DaSilva, was charged with the unlawful and malicious wounding of Mackintosh. He pleaded not guilty and was granted $100,000 bail.
The matters were adjourned to September 15.
The duo were already placed on station bail on Saturday, after they were arrested following the incident.
Reports are that Maxx went to Rodrigues’ home while he was doing a live broadcast of his morning show and said that he was sent by United States (US) sanctioned Azruddin Mohamed to collect monies owed to him.
According to the live broadcast by both parties, Maxx entered Rodrigues’ studio then demanded monies on behalf of Mohamed and former People’s National Congress Reform (PNC/R) member and coalition Government Minister, Simona Broomes who is now the leader for Assembly for Liberty and Prosperity (ALP) party.
A confrontation then ensued after Maxx refused to collect some money offered to him in the presence of a guest on the broadcast but instead began hurdling derogatory remarks about sexual acts involving the guest’s mother and also about Rodrigues’ mother. A heated exchange followed that led to a physical altercation.
