A man who shouted obscenities at the Attorney General yesterday claimed another Senator had threatened him with violence.

Burnell Cross appeared where the 66-year-old pleaded not guilty to unlawfully and maliciously disturbing the Senate.

Cross, of no fixed abode, was arrested after he walked into the Senate and shouted: "That b***h stole money from my mama".

He claimed Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Senator Kim Wilson, had acted as his mother's lawyer and stolen money from her.

Senate President Carol-Ann Bassett told Cross to leave but he refused. He then shouted: "You told me to f**k off Col. (Senator David) Burch so I'm telling you to f**k off. I am letting you know. There's going to be a lot of action."

He was ushered out by Sen. Bean, the Clerk, and a Police officer on duty, and arrested by CID officers.

Yesterday, despite his not guilty plea, Cross pleaded with Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner to find him somewhere to stay.

"Give me a safe place to stay," he said. "I could be living with people who are going to put machetes in my head."

Cross claimed he had been staying at a series of apartment houses, costing him between $140-$160 a day.

He told the court: "I'm out of my resources, I'm at the end of my resources, I have nowhere else to stay."

He claimed other occupants had threatened his personal safety.

"I've had my life threatened," said Cross.

Mr. Warner fixed a trial date of August 28 and granted Cross bail at $1,000 with one surety.
