Bail jumper and guarantor forfeit 10 grand each

It was big news back in October of 2004. That is a shootout near Queen Square Anglican School that had the community worried about innocent children being caught in the crossfire. Today that story has resurfaced as Lincoln Robinson, the man charged with aggravated assault and threat of death against a police officer, has failed to show up for his trial. Consequently his bail of ten thousand dollars has been forfeited and a woman who put up a guarantee for the same amount is about to lose her money. Chief Magistrate Herbert Lord has ordered Yvonne Hyde of a Western Highway address to appear on Thursday where she will either pay the ten grand or give up the land papers that she pledged to insure Robinson’s appearance. On October twenty-first of last year Robinson and police officer Mark Martinez exchanged fire with Robinson being wounded in the leg.
