A 47-year-old prison of­fi­cer, at­tached to the Gold­en Grove Prison, has been or­dered not to threat­en or abuse his wife in any­way af­ter ap­pear­ing be­fore an Ari­ma mag­is­trate last Fri­day charged with as­sault oc­ca­sion­ing ac­tu­al bod­i­ly harm.

A po­lice re­lease said Mar­lon Lawrence, of St. Mar­tin Trace, Brazil, who plead­ed not guilty to the charge, was giv­en the or­der by Mag­is­trate Avion Gill as a con­di­tion of his bail which was set at $60,000.

Lawrence will reap­pear be­fore the court on Feb­ru­ary 12

He was ar­rest­ed and charged by WPC Pam­ponette, of the Gen­der-Based

Vi­o­lence Unit (GB­VU) on Jan­u­ary 15, 2021, fol­low­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tions in­to the de­tails of a re­port made to de­tec­tives by his wife, an In­spec­tor of Po­lice, about an in­ci­dent in which she was al­leged­ly phys­i­cal­ly as­sault­ed.

While con­duct­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tions, WPC Pam­ponette learned that on Jan­u­ary 2, the vic­tim ar­rived at the cou­ple’s shared home at St. Mar­tin Trace, Brazil, at 3.15 pm, where there was an in­ci­dent.

Dur­ing the in­ci­dent, the vic­tim re­port­ed that she was grabbed from be­hind and as­sault­ed.

A re­port was sub­se­quent­ly made to the po­lice and she was tak­en for med­ical treat­ment.

The sus­pect was lat­er charged with as­sault oc­ca­sion­ing ac­tu­al bod­i­ly harm fol­low­ing ad­vice re­ceived by Di­rec­tor of Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tion Roger Gas­pard SC.

The in­ves­ti­ga­tion was head­ed by act­ing Su­per­in­ten­dent Claire Guy-Al­leyne and act­ing In­spec­tor Wayne Stan­ley
