The Trini­bad artiste who had threat­ened sup­port­ers from a po­lit­i­cal par­ty via Tik­Tok videos three weeks be­fore the Gen­er­al Elec­tion has been bond­ed in the sum of $5000 for two years.    

Dur­ing that time, 35-year-old Bradlee "Sai" Dha­naram has to keep the peace and be of good be­hav­iour, and if he breach­es the bond he will re­turn to the court for sen­tenc­ing.

Dha­naram was ar­rest­ed by po­lice on April 11 and sub­se­quent­ly charged with mak­ing state­ments to in­flu­ence pub­lic opin­ion in a man­ner like­ly to be prej­u­di­cial to pub­lic safe­ty.  The charges stemmed from his vi­o­lent ut­ter­ances via Tik­Tok on April 8, in which he threat­ened mem­bers of the pub­lic from "the PNM strong­hold," say­ing that he had in­vest­ed in 100,000 tie traps and he and his crew will tie them with the straps on the night be­fore elec­tions.

The San­ta Flo­ra res­i­dent plead­ed guilty on April 16, af­ter ap­pear­ing be­fore Siparia Mag­is­trate Glo­ria Jas­math.  He was grant­ed own bail in the sum of $10,000 and or­dered to re­turn for sen­tenc­ing.  Be­fore the sen­tence was hand­ed down to­day, his at­tor­ney Frank Git­tens told the mag­is­trate that his client has since apol­o­gised via Tik­Tok and the video has gone vi­ral.

The mag­is­trate or­dered the charg­ing of­fi­cer, PC Ramesh Chaitram­s­ingh to re­turn to Dha­naram, items that were seized from him, in­clud­ing an iPhone, a Sam­sung cell­phone, a span­ish link chain, watch and hat.
