QUINCY Bernard, a 31-year-old resident of Lot 14 Church Street, Stanleytown, West Bank Demerara, who was the subject of a wanted bulletin for sexual assault, was arrested on Tuesday after surrendering to authorities.

Bernard arrived at the Diamond Police Station at approximately 13:30hrs, accompanied by his attorney Nigel Hughes. Upon his arrival, he was promptly arrested by ranks of the Guyana Police Force and placed into custody.

During a standard physical examination conducted by the police, abrasions were observed on both of Bernard’s knees. When questioned about the injuries, he reportedly told investigators that he sustained them after falling while running. The police escorted him to the Diamond Regional Hospital, where a medical examination confirmed that there were no gunshot wounds or other serious injuries on his body.

Bernard remains in police custody as an investigation into the sexual assault allegation continues. No formal charges have been laid as yet, but police say the matter is actively being pursued.
The Guyana Police Force had issued a wanted bulletin for Bernard prior to his arrest, urging members of the public to assist in locating him.
