Minister’s Son Pleads Guilty To harm Then Allegedly Attempts To Hang Himself

Andre Hutchinson, 23, the son of Minister Michael Hutchinson, pleaded guilty to harm when he was arraigned today in the #4 Magistrate’s Court.

Magistrate Aretha Ford fined him $200 and gave him until September 27 to pay. If he defaults on payment he will serve 2 months.

Hutchinson was kept in custody because he owes court fines.

The incident occurred around 3:36 p.m. on Tuesday, August 24 at Mile 11 on the Northern Highway.

The complainant, Corey Jones, 11, a student of Perez Road, Ladyville, reported to the police that he was working on the side of the road when Hutchinson approached him and punched him on the left side of his cheek for no reason, causing a cut wound inside his cheek.

Jones said Hutchinson then picked him up and threw him into a drain.

The police then arrived at the scene and detained Hutchinson.

Jones was given a pair of medico legal forms and taken to hospital.

The doctor who examined him classified his injury as harm.

Hutchinson said he punched the boy because the boy told him to suck his mother’s vagina.

According to reports, while Hutchinson was in the holding cell at Magistrate’s Court he attempted to hang himself by tying his pants around his neck and around a beam in the cell.
