Cosmetologist on $40,000 Bail for Property Damage Charge

September 11 2025

A North Ruimveldt, Georgetown cosmetologist was on Wednesday arraigned before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on a charge of damaging household property.

Natasha George appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty, where she pleaded not guilty to the charge.

It is alleged that on September 5, 2025, at Lot 3020 North Ruimveldt, Georgetown, George damaged a kitchen cabinet valued at $89,999 and a microwave worth $42,000, property of Lindon Wickle.

Wickle told the court that he and George occupy the same property—he resides on the lower flat while she lives upstairs—and stated that as the beneficiary, he is responsible for maintaining the premises.

According to the prosecution, water leaking from George’s apartment caused the damage.

George, however, denied knowledge of any leakage and explained that she had not called in a plumber because disputes over ownership routinely arise whenever repairs are needed.

Magistrate McGusty placed George on a bond to keep the peace and granted her $40,000 bail. The matter was adjourned to October 1.
