A police sergeant has been found guilty of breaching Section 33 of the Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) Act, 2010.
Reports are that the ruling against the sergeant, identified as Gilbert Smith, was handed down after an investigation of an incident of assault on September 16, 2016.
The guilty verdict was handed down on Tuesday, March 29, 2021 in the Clarendon Parish Court.
INDECOM, in a release, stated that three requests were made of the policeman to furnish a statement to the commission in relation to the assault allegation.
INDECOM said Smith failed to provide a statement, and was therefore in breach of the act, for failing to comply with a lawful requirement of the commission without lawful justification or excuse.
