Man, found ‘cutting-up weed’ by police, gets three years prison with $157,000 fine

Last Updated on Wednesday, 18 January 2017, 17:49 by Derwayne Wills

Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan ruled that prima facie case has been established against Andrew Alder, a Guyoil driver charged with causing  the death of Denesh Bissoon by dangerous driving last year.
Alder, a pensioner from Stewartville, West Coast Demerara, had pleaded not guilty to the charge previously and was placed on $300,000 bail. Alden was today asked to build his defense by Chief Magistrate McLennan.
In March last at Houston Access Road, Alder drove motorcar PMM 3981 in a manner dangerous to the public, thereby causing the death of Bissoon.
Alder, with crutches under both arms to support a leg injury, today told the court he was heading to the Timehri Airport to pick up his brother and sister when between the Meadow Bank and D’Aguiar Scheme, when Bissoon’s motorcycle collided with his vehicle.
He said the motorist swerved into his direction. Alder said a vehicle of Tactical Service Unit (TSU) ranks then pulled up instructing him to move his vehicle to the corner, to which he objected.
Alder said he was arrested and held for 72 hours and placed on $40,000 cash bail at the East Ruimveldt Police Outpost.
He later was made to report to the Ruimveldt Police Station where he was put on the prisoner bench and informed Bissoon died while in treatment. The chief magistrate set January 24 for Alders’s defense to close his case.
