A correction officer is today on remand in prison himself after taking two Samurai swords to his ex-girlfriend's home and acting in a threatening manner.

Jonathan Chase Robinson was found in possession of the swords — one with a 16 inch blade and one 10.5 inches long — by police called to the incident at Letitia Swan's home on Wednesday night.

Crown Counsel Takiya Burgess told Magistrates' Court Ms Swan and the defendant were in a relationship for three years, but it ended due to "irreconcilable differences."

Around 10.30 p.m on Wednesday, Robinson turned up at her home in Camp Drive, Warwick, where she lives with her three children aged under 13.

He tried to get Ms Swan's attention by knocking on her front door and bedroom window. When she ignored him, he phoned her — but she turned down his request to let him in, explained the prosecutor.

Robinson, 25, proceeded to leave several messages on Ms Swan's phone — one of which made an apparent reference to the three year mandatory prison sentence for possession of a bladed article in a public place.

"I have three years. Three years of prison in my hand, right. Open up your door because if I have to come through I'm not going prison for nothing right. Open up your door," he told the victim, according to the prosecutor.

Ms Burgess went on to explain that Ms Swan, "became fearful for her life and the lives of her children," and called the Police. When they attended the incident at 1.05 a.m. yesterday morning they found Robinson "hunched down" outside, and the two Samurai swords near his motorcycle. He admitted the swords were his, and that he had damaged Ms Swan's property.

Appearing before Magistrate Juan Wolffe later yesterday morning, Robinson, of Poinciana Road, Devonshire, pleaded guilty to possession of two bladed articles in a public place, wilfully damaging Ms Swan's windows and doors, and behaving in a threatening manner.

He told the Magistrate: "I want to take responsibility for my actions. I've been in Police custody since Tuesday night. It's slightly inconvenient for me to remain in custody at Hamilton Police Station. I have not had a bath in two days."

When Mr. Wolffe told him he would be remanded into custody at Westgate, Robinson said this was "cool". He was not represented by a lawyer during his court appearance, and Mr. Wolffe advised him: "I think you may well require one."

The matter was adjourned until Monday afternoon for sentencing.
