CITY Magistrate Judy Latchman on Friday placed three employees of Hotel Tower and Club Privilege, located on Main Street, on $700,000 bail each, after they were charged with attempting to obstruct the course of justice by tampering with evidence of a recent shooting.The General Manager, Keisha Phillips, Andre Rochford, the club’s Manager and Ronald O’Brien, the Technical Manager, all denied the allegation which stated that on Sunday, January 8 at Main Street they attempted to obstruct the course of justice by deleting CCTV footage from a shootout inside the Club.

The trio will return to court on March 7.

According to reports about around 03:00hrs on January 8 there was an exchange of gunshots inside Club Privilege in the Main Street hotel, which resulted in injuries. No one was seriously hurt but management had failed to make the necessary report to the police. It was not until the next day when an injured person provided the police with information that they were made aware of the incident.

Before investigators arrived at the scene, the area had been cleaned; spent shells were picked up and there was no trace of any blood. However, there were visible holes in the wall of the club. Police received reports after one of the victims, who was grazed by a bullet, made an official report. Reports suggest the victim was taken to the hospital by staff of the Club after sustaining the injury at the Club.
