ROUTE 40 (Kitty/Campbellville) minibus driver, Quacy Sealey called “Cayenne”, was, on Friday, fined $10,000 for behaving disorderly while at the Brickdam Police Station.
The 38-year-old father of 10, who lives at Queen Street, Kitty, Georgetown, appeared before City Magistrate Rhondell Weever.
The charge against Sealey stemmed from an incident on June 16, 2023, at the Brickdam Police Station, where he was accused of behaving in a disorderly manner.
The police prosecutor informed the court that Sealey, upon visiting the station, used a series of expletives and continued his disruptive behaviour even after being instructed to desist by officers.
The prosecutor pointed out that Sealey is no stranger to the court and has a history of committing traffic offences.
During his court appearance, Sealey, who was not represented by legal counsel, claimed that another person was driving his bus on the day in question.
According to him, the police instructed the driver to bring the minibus to the station, and they followed these instructions. Sealey asserted that police officers chased the driver out of the bus and demanded that he (Sealey) sign a document.
As he was not the bus driver, Sealey refused to sign, leading to a “heated argument” with a police sergeant.
After accepting Sealey’s guilty plea, Magistrate Weever imposed a $10,000 fine. Failure to pay the fine would result in a one-month jail term for Sealey.
