San Pedro Resident Alleges Police Brutality

San Pedro resident Alex Wade has come forward with serious allegations of police brutality, claiming he was assaulted by four police officers while in custody. He says the assault resulted in multiple injuries, including a fractured elbow. According to Wade, the incident occurred earlier after he was detained for a public altercation in San Pedro Town.

“I was chilling outside of right here at Centavos at the roadside and a guy passed and messed with me, but he threw a stone, right? And I threw a stone back to him and he went and called the police and they come, ker us da the station and thing, put me in the cell”

He alleges that after requesting a phone call, which was denied, and using obscene language toward an officer, he was attacked in his cell.

“Two of them came in and they started beating me and I think I tried to defend myself. I shoved one of them off and he went out and he came in back with a metal level. That is when he lashed me about like four times on my elbow. Fractured my elbow.”

Wade says he plans to press charges and take legal action against the officers involved.
