A 43-year-old woman accused of hiding a wanted fugitive pleaded not guilty in Magistrates' Court yesterday. Davina Ratteray denied harbouring shooting suspect Omari Gordon sometime between November 29, 2008 and January 17, 2010.

The 27-year-old was the subject of a 13-month Police hunt after he allegedly shot at three officers in the Middle Town area of Pembroke on November 29, 2008.

A cash reward of $5,000 was offered for his capture. Gordon was eventually apprehended at a Sandys parish residence. The Pembroke resident was later charged with discharging shots from a firearm and making use of a firearm with intent to resist arrest.

Gordon was not required to enter a plea as the matters must be dealt with in Supreme Court. He has been held in custody since his last court appearance. Yesterday Ratteray, of Store Lane, Devonshire, was charged with obstructing justice and conspiracy to obstruct justice by Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner.

She denied the charges. She was released on $5,000 bail and ordered to reappear in court on May 5.
