A general worker from Green Hill has been granted bail in Barbados District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court following his appearance on five separate charges. Jason Omar McClean, 45, pleaded not guilty to allegations spanning theft, threatening behavior, and assault, according to reporting from Barbados Today.
The charges against McClean include the theft of toiletries—deodorant, soap, antiperspirant, and facial scrubs valued at $205.04—from Popular Supermarket on January 29. He also faces a separate theft charge related to a car battery worth $100 belonging to Tyson Scantlebury, allegedly taken on September 3. The remaining charges involve threatening statements made toward Scantlebury on September 8 and toward Pranpattie Evans on October 11, along with an assault allegation against Evans on the same date.
According to court records, McClean allegedly told Scantlebury, "Redman, I gine chop you up. You wait, I tell you to stop coming through hey," with apparent intent to cause fear of violence. In a separate incident, he allegedly threatened Evans, stating he would "pick up a big rock and disfigure your face cause you tell your boyfriend where I live."
Sergeant Victoria Leacock objected to bail, arguing that the number of charges—particularly the two threats charges—warranted detention to protect the complainants. However, Magistrate Shakieda Sealy overruled the objection. McClean was released on $8,000 bail with conditions requiring him to stay away from both complainants and Popular Supermarket, and to report to District ‘A’ Police Station twice weekly. McClean maintained his innocence in court, stating he had no dealings with the complainants.
The charges against McClean span a period from January through October 2026, with alleged incidents occurring at multiple locations across Barbados. The case reflects ongoing concerns about theft and interpersonal violence within the jurisdiction.
