Two Police Officers Charged for Separate Offences

A woman police officer assigned to the Dangriga police formation has been charged with theft. This follows an allegation by a citizen who gave P.C. Kia Jones a lift and claimed that the officer stole fifty dollars from inside her vehicle. And in a separate incident, another officer, P.C. Ryan Timmons, has been charged after he crashed a vehicle while driving contrary to the free flow of traffic. Commissioner Williams assured that the police department is tough on officers who break the law.

“That police officer has been charged, and it goes to show that when we have complaints of the misconduct of our officers, we waste no time to take action. How more effective can we be?”

“One of them was involved in a car crash and a vehicle crash by Pound Yard Bridge, driving up-stop came around Wood Street, he crashed into another vehicle and I understand there was also a domestic charge pending which has been dropped. Will this police officer be charged for failure to provide a sample and for causing that traffic accident that police was charged?”

 

Chester Williams

“I think yesterday I think it’s P.C. Timmons, right? Yes, he was charged.”

“And then – but he was involved in something, such outlaw behavior, going up, stop speeding, all of these things. What do you think when you see something like that?”

 

Chester Williams

“Well, as far as I’m concerned, he commits a breach of discipline and he has to break the law and he’s not immune from criminal liability. And so he has been dealt with.”
