Five of the six charges against 36-year-old businessman Bradly Sampson, also known as “Doggie,” were dismissed during a hearing at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.
Initially, Sampson faced multiple charges stemming from incidents that occurred on July 15, 2025, at the Square of the Revolution. He pleaded not guilty to allegations of unlawfully wounding Genista Fordyce, using obscene language, threatening behavior, and behaving disorderly in public. He was also charged with unlawfully carrying a firearm and possessing an unlicensed firearm. These allegations arose from a dispute related to payments owed by the organization We Invest in Nationhood (WIN).
During Wednesday’s session, acting Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty heard that the prosecution had decided to dismiss two firearm-related charges—unlawful possession of a firearm and carrying an unlicensed firearm in public—based on advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions. However, no further details were provided regarding this withdrawal.
In previous hearings, three additional charges—unlawful wounding, obscene language, and threatening behavior—were also dismissed.
With only one charge of disorderly behavior remaining, Sampson’s attorney, Jevon Cox, requested its dismissal, arguing that the prosecution had failed to present any evidence since the case began. He noted that no statements had been made available between July and December, claiming that judicial resources “should not be wasted on this matter.”
In response, Magistrate McGusty sought clarification from the prosecution, which indicated that disclosure would be ready by December 5. Consequently, the matter was adjourned to that date, giving the prosecution one final opportunity to advance the remaining charge. All other firearm-related charges have now been dismissed.
Cox further explained that at previous hearings, he had applied for the dismissal of the three other charges, citing a statement from the virtual complainant indicating that she wished to pursue no further legal action against Sampson. He also noted her absence from court.
The charges arose after a viral video surfaced, showing Sampson appearing to be in possession of a firearm. During his initial court appearance, Magistrate McGusty had granted him bail set at $270,000.
