Foot drama: Son to be sentenced; father for trial June 29
Kyle Gumbs is charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and pleaded guilty to the offence on February 17, 2012 before Magistrate Tamia Richards. His father, Wesley Gumbs, on the other hand is charged with threatening language, an offence he vehemently denies.
According to court reports, on Sunday, August 2, 2009, at around 7:30 p.m., Landa Charles, a security guard working at the Festival Village, stopped Kyle from entering the ground because his vehicle did not have the pass to be allowed entry.
However, he became upset and began to argue with Ms. Charles, and it was then his father Wesley came up and allegedly begun to verbally assault the security officer and urged his son “to run her down”.
Heeding his father’s advice, Kyle allegedly drove over the right foot of Ms. Charles and drove away.
The doctor’s report indicated that Ms. Charles suffered soft tissue swelling and tenderness. She also still suffers from the effect of the injury.
Both men are represented by Patrick Thompson and are on bail.
