Lorenzo Nicholas Green appeared in the Summary Court on May 21, 2025, to face charges of disorderly conduct, threats to kill, resisting a police officer and assaulting a police officer. Magistrate Gunn ordered that Green complete a probation order for two years, during which he must attend anger management classes. Green must also complete 180 hours of community service.

Background

Based on the account given by the prosecution counsel in the Summary Court, on June 29, 2024, Green attended the CayMas Aftermath event held at the Seven Mile Public Beach.

Apparently, the event required all attendees to present wristband tickets at the security checkpoint when arriving at the entrance gate.

Reportedly, Green attended the venue without either a wristband or tickets.

When questioned by a security person, Green explained that he was inside the venue previously.

The security officer apparently did not believe Green and directed him to a nearby ticket counter to purchase a ticket.

Reportedly, this caused Green to become angry and aggressive.

Green allegedly attempted to enter the event forcefully and at some stage reportedly tried to punch another security officer.

The commotion caught the attention of several police officers on duty.

One police officer reportedly instructed the security officer to remove Green from a hold. At this time, Green allegedly lunged at the security officer.

Allegedly, Green became increasingly hostile and aggressive towards the police officers, telling one, “go su%k your mother” and calling him “pu%sy hole.”

Green reportedly attached the police, pushing one officer and scratching the neck and upper chest area of an inspector. The prosecution suggested that Green be made to pay compensation for the injuries.

Green was arrested and taken to the detention centre.

Reportedly, on the way to the detention centre, Green made several threats.

During his interview on June 30, Green denied the allegations.

Green explained that he was at the location because his family had a food stall there. He briefly left the food stall to go outside to attend to a matter for his daughter.

Attorney Stacy-Ann Kelly argued on Green’s behalf and said Green was present at the venue for a legitimate reason.

She added that Green’s actions were not an act of malice but due to alcohol impairment.

She recommended to the Summary Court that Green be given a suspended sentence rather than sent to prison.

Regarding the prosecution’s suggestion that Green pay compensation, Kelly noted that if the prosecution requests compensation, Kelly, as defence counsel, must be provided with relevant documentation. In the circumstances, nothing in the documents before the court suggested that compensation would be requested.

Kelly explained:

A lot of times in this jurisdiction, you cannot rely on the summary of facts provided by the police. We have to always go to the statement because that’s where that very lies. The actual evidence.

Having heard from prosecution and defence counsels, Magistrate Gunn said:

Mr. Green pleaded guilty to a number of public order events.

What happened that evening unacceptable.

Police should be treated with respect and civilians should be following instructions, not fighting them.

Given the circumstances, Magistrate Gunn noted that the starting point for Green’s offences was six months in prison, with a sentencing range from community service to one year in prison.

After considering mitigation factors and his early guilty plea, Magistrate Gunn ordered two years ‘ probation. In addition, Green must complete:
