A Puerto Rico court judge found probable cause for arrest against a 28-year-old man accused of assaulting another man and threatening to kill him with a machete at a restaurant in Adjuntas. Judge Rafael Pérez Medina, of the Utuado Court of First Instance, issued the ruling against Harry D. Rodríguez Natal. According to the Police investigation, the events occurred on October 23 at around 12:40 PM at the restaurant El Boricua, located on Rodolfo González street.
There, Rodríguez Natal allegedly attacked the victim in various parts of the body and, while carrying a machete, told him he was going to kill him. He was charged with violations of the Weapons Law, threats and assault. Judge Pérez Medina set global bail at $50,000, which the defendant posted through the Pretrial Services Program (PSAJ).
The judge also ordered that he remain under electronic supervision until the preliminary hearing, scheduled for November 16.
