Telswin Lara

Twenty-two year old Telswin Lara, once beat a murder charge but today he was back in court for robbing two minors at gunpoint. But while in the Magistrate’s holding cell, he picked up another charge, this one for robbery.  Shortly before eleven o’clock, while Telswin was in the lockdown, Alex Rojas, a detainee in the same cell accused him of beating him up and robbing him of his cash. Rojas claims he was attacked by Lara for no reason and robbed of fifteen dollars.  The other charge for which he was in detention has to do with the robbery of a bicycle belonging to Robert and Ludwig Lain at the corner of Central American Boulevard and Fabers Road.  Lara, who pleaded not guilty to all charges, was denied bail and remanded to the Hattieville prison until May seventh.
