Police Constables Damian Skyers and Denton Williams were today arrested and charged in relation with the assault and robbery of a businessman.
Constables Skyers and Williams were brought before the Gun Court where they were each offered $250,000 bail.
The cops are attached to the Protective Services Division of the Jamaica Constabulary Force.
They are facing the charges of illegal possession of a firearm, assault at common law, assault occasioning bodily harm and robbery with aggravation.
As conditions of their bails, the constables were ordered to surrender their travel documents and must report to the Port Antonio Police Station three times a week.
A stop order was placed on them.
It’s alleged that in March Constable Skyers gave the complainant a quantity of ganja to sell and, months later returned with Constable Williams seeking payment.
When this money was not forthcoming, Constable Skyers reportedly assaulted the businessman before allegedly taking several items from his business place.
The businessman reported the matter to the police and following investigation the constables were today arrested and charged.
The cops are scheduled to reappear in the Gun Court on Monday October 31.
