A man charged un­der the new Home In­va­sion Act has been grant­ed bail in the sum of $200,000 with strict con­di­tions af­ter ap­pear­ing be­fore the High Court Crim­i­nal Di­vi­sion in south Trinidad.

Shawn Cum­mings, 37, of Sixth Com­pa­ny Cir­cu­lar Road, In­di­an Walk, faces charges of wound­ing with in­tent and home in­va­sion aris­ing out of an al­leged cut­lass at­tack on An­drew Tees­dale on April 5.

The mat­ter was heard yes­ter­day be­fore Mas­ter Gray. Pros­e­cu­tor Amit Jag­ger­nauth ap­peared for the State, while Cum­mings was rep­re­sent­ed by at­tor­neys Ja­son Jack­son and Krysan Ram­bert. Ram­bert made the bail ap­pli­ca­tion on be­half of the ac­cused.

The court grant­ed bail in the sum of $200,000 with one sure­ty.

As part of his bail con­di­tions, Cum­mings was or­dered to re­side at his stat­ed ad­dress and re­port to the Princes Town Po­lice Sta­tion every Tues­day, Thurs­day and Sun­day be­tween 6 am and 6 pm. He was al­so placed on a night­ly cur­few from 7 pm to 6 am.

In ad­di­tion, the ac­cused must have no con­tact with the vir­tu­al com­plainant and is re­quired to re­main at least 500 me­tres away from him.

The pros­e­cu­tion raised no ob­jec­tion to bail. The court al­so not­ed that Cum­mings has no pre­vi­ous crim­i­nal record.

The mat­ter has been ad­journed to Sep­tem­ber 9.
