The three other men were arrested and charged in connection with the incident between April and May.

Despot subsequently surrendered himself to officers of the Guapo Police Station on Tuesday and was charged on Wednesday.

He was granted bail in the sum of $75,000 with surety or $20,000 cash at the end of his hearing on Thursday.
