Sheryl Lynn Muna Worswick
Camacho found probable cause to believe that the crimes of attempted robbery, aggravated assault and battery, assault with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery, and disturbing the peace were committed and that the 38-year-old Worswick may have committed the offenses.
Worswick, also known as Cheryl Lynn Muna Worswick, was ordered to answer the charges.
Arraignment will be on Feb. 1 at 9am. The defendant was remanded into the custody of the Department of Corrections, where she has been detained for failing to post a $25,000 cash bail.
At yesterday’s preliminary hearing, assistant attorney general Barbara Cepeda called to the witness stand police detective Catherine B. Pangelinan, who testified the circumstances that led to the identification and arrest of the defendant.
Chief public defender Douglas Hartig served as counsel for Worswick.
The victim, a 52-year-old woman, received 15 stitches to the right hand. She was treated at the Commonwealth Health Center and later released.
Pangelinan stated in her report that the stabbing happened during Worswick’s attempt to rob Islander Mini Mart/Western Union located along Beach Road east of the Pacific Islands shortly before noon last Jan. 17.
According to the cashier, while she was behind the cashier counter doing transaction with a Western Union customer, the suspect came in and asked her what time it was.
About five minutes later, the suspect, who was later identified through surveillance camera as Worswick came back armed with a knife and locked the front door.
A struggle later ensued, causing injuries to the cashier. Worswick ran away.
