Saul pleaded not guilty to all of the charges and was released on $95,000 bail.

Particulars of the two assault charge alleged that on February 16, 2019, at the Route 48 minibus park, Georgetown, Saul assaulted Woman Constable LaRose and Woolford.

It is further alleged that Saul resisted arrest while the last two charges alleged that on the same day, Saul behaved disorderly in public.
