‘Dirty Doggie’ granted $260,000 bail for assault, other charges

Bradley Sampson popularly known as “Dirty Doggie”, was on Friday charged with six offences, including unlawful wounding and illegal firearm possession, following an alleged assault on a woman.
The 36-year-old from Lodge, Georgetown appeared before Magistrate Faith McGusty and pleaded not guilty to all charges. He was granted $260,000 bail despite objections from the prosecution.
The incident involved Genista Fordyce, a sales representative from McDoom, East Bank Demerara, who claimed she was hired by Sampson to perform tasks for the WIN party on Nominations Day for $50,000.
On July 15, she went to collect her payment but received only $10,000. An argument reportedly broke out at the Square of the Revolution, during which Sampson allegedly kicked, punched, and struck her with a firearm. The assault was captured on video and circulated on social media.
Police say Fordyce was later offered $500,000 by US-sanctioned Azruddin Mohamed to drop the case. As a result, Mohamed was sought by police on the accusation of obstructing the course of justice. He turned himself in, was released. The case continues on August 15.
