FOUR friends were arrested on Monday night for disorderly behaviour, after, allegedly, abusing officers during a routine roadblock operation along the Diamond Public Road, East Bank Demerara.

According to a police release, the incident unfolded around 21:15 hrs, as officers from Regional Division 4B were conducting checks on vehicles.
A Land Cruiser, registered as PAE 528 and driven by Paul Daby, 29, was stopped by the ranks.

It is alleged that Daby stopped his vehicle in the middle of the road, thereby preventing the free flow of traffic.

“What ensued was a confrontation as Daby and his companions, identified as Deion Jerrick, Sherwayne De Abreau, and Alpha Poole became verbally abusive towards the police officers and proceeded to behave in a disorderly manner, which resulted in a crowd gathering,” the police release detailed.

Despite a thorough search of the vehicle and its occupants yielded no illicit items, the quartet was apprehended on charges of disorderly behaviour.

They were transported to the Golden Grove Police Station for processing.

Their next stop is the Diamond Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, May 8, 2024, where they are expected to answer to the charge of “Disorderly Behaviour.”
