Bramble was remanded to prison to await sentencing on June 3, 2008, at the High Court, after he had pleaded guilty to the charge of robbery against Wendell Antrobus.

The evidence in the matter revealed that Antrobus, a bakery owner, had just received the day’s proceeds close to 9 p.m. when masked men attacked him at his bakery. A bullet was fired at him as he was told to pass the cash. The proprietor said he started running when two other shots were fired at him, one hitting worker Rueben Wynne on is his left arm.

Antrobus ran and threw the money on the ground as a masked man tried to grab it. He said that he jumped on the robber and grabbed the hand with the gun. One of Antrobus’ sons arrived on the scene and held the masked man and unmasked him, which revealed Bramble’s face. When Antrobus went to retrieve his money amounting to $3,454, a second masked man hit him a severe blow to the head as he wrestled with the first masked man. The second man made off with the money.
