Wendell Anthony & Marvin Robinson fined $2k each
The incident allegedly occurred on June 24, 2012 in Huntum’s Ghut at the residence of George, who was the Virtual Complainant (VC) in the matter.
During the trial the court heard that Officer Anthony observed the VC on a bike with no ID plates and signaled to him. George reportedly rode off and went to his residence in Huntum’s Ghut where he later parked his bike.
Shortly afterwards, the VC reportedly heard voices outside and saw Officer Anthony and a friend outside on his stairway. Anthony then allegedly told George to come outside as he was taking (the VC’s) motorcycle.
It was at this point that the VC reportedly telephoned his mother and related what was happening and made attempts for his mother to speak with Mr Anthony, which proved unsuccessful.
Officer Anthony allegedly repeated his claim of removing the motorcycle when the VC reportedly replied, “You’re not going with any bike.” George also added that he knew his bike was ‘straight’ and reportedly attempted to show Officer Anthony the documents for his bike. Senior Crown Counsel Valston Graham stated that it was further alleged that Anthony knocked the documents out of the VC’s hand.
Robinson subsequently arrived at George’s residence and as he was entering the premises, the VC’s dog in the driveway reportedly started barking at him. Officer Robinson allegedly fired several kicks and stones in the direction of the dog. The VC intervened and attempted to block Robinson from throwing rocks and Robinson allegedly held on to George; a struggle then ensued between the two before Anthony allegedly intervened.
It was further alleged that Anthony hit George in the stomach and chest area and the VC was also head butted by Anthony who was wearing a helmet at the time; this reportedly caused several injuries to the VC.
A couple of George’s friends were reportedly present and observed as the officers allegedly handcuffed the VC and took him to the Police station after which he was taken to Peebles Hospital for medical treatment for the injuries he reportedly received to his head.
Complaints were later made to the Complaints and Disciplinary Division of the RVIPF regarding the treatment of Mr George. The Chief Inspector reportedly carried out investigations related to the matter.
Officer Robinson was reportedly told of the report on November 27, 2012 while the allegations were put to Officer Anthony on November 28, 2012. Both defendants reportedly made no reply after which they were told of the offence and that charges were likely to be brought.
George succumbed to injuries sustained after the motor scooter he was riding collided with a pick-up on September 27, 2012.
The court heard today that the conditions of the fines were that they pay the sum in full in two days or in default spend two years in prison.
