Police Constable Released Without Charge
posted (September 12, 2018)
And while three men have been charged, 52 year old police constable Norman Anthony has been released.

In a press release yesterday, police said he was, quote, "detained in a vehicle heading in the direction of the landing site (and) has been suspended from duty by the Commissioner of police." End quote. Anthony was stationed in Blue Creek where there plane landed. He is now on active suspension.

Today, Bradley discussed his release:...

Dickie Bradley, Attorney
"As a result the policeman was let go last night."

Reporter
"Is Superintendent David Chi expected to be charged?"

Dickie Bradley, Attorney
"I saw another attorney who probably is waiting for instructions. The talk that there is a possibility that he may be charged."

Reporter
"So is he detained?"

Dickie Bradley, Attorney
"I don't represent him, so I don't want to take away from another lawyer who will probably be representing him or he may be lucky like police officer Anthony and not be charged."

And while he has been released, reports suggest that may be due to time limitations for detention, and he could be detained again sometime in the near future. Repots tell us that police plan to speak with PC Anthony and superintendent David Chi, the former Orange Walk Commander who was relieved of his command yesterday and placed on administrative leave.
