THE Guyana Defence Force (GDF) on Thursday sought to clarify information which listed a man that was charged for assault and disorderly behaviour as a serving member of the force.

In a press release, the Defence Force indicated that the court was provided with information from an attorney, who related that Marvin Douglas is a serving member of the Force.

Against this backdrop, the GDF notified members of the public that Douglas was a former member of the Force, who was struck off strength since July 29, 2013.

Douglas, who was placed before the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court earlier this week, is facing charges in relation to an incident that occurred in January. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
