Four friends arrested for disorderly conduct at police roadblock

Four friends were Monday night arrested for disorderly conduct when stopped at a police roadblock along the Diamond Public Road, East Bank Demerara.

According to a statement from Police Headquarters, at approximately 21:15 hrs, ranks in Regional Division 4B were conducting a ‘roadblock’ exercise at Diamond Public Road when a Land Cruiser bearing registration number PAE 528 was stopped.

The driver, Paul Daby, a 29-year-old of 127 D’Aguiar Park, stopped his vehicle in the middle of the road, preventing the free flow of traffic.

Daby and his three friends, Deion Jerrick, Sherwayne De Abreau, and Alpha Poole, then became verbally abusive towards the police officers and proceeded to behave in a disorderly manner.

The ranks continued to carry out their duties, and the individuals and vehicle were searched. No illegal items were found.

The four individuals were subsequently arrested for disorderly behavior and taken to the Golden Grove Police Station for processing.

They are scheduled to appear at the Diamond Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday to answer to the charge of ‘Disorderly Behaviour’.
