Jamaica: Airport cops escape
Two constables who were accused of corruption walked free on Tuesday, but the presiding magistrate has recommended that the Police High Command take disciplinary action against them.
Magistrate Desiree Alleyne was forced to release Constables Errol Bonner and Kumar Bailey because the witness consistently refused to attend court.
The young Constables, who were attached to the Airport Police Station, were nabbed in October last year during a sting operation.
The cops were accused of demanding two cellular phones valued at $45,000 from two motorists as payment to drop a traffic ticket.
It was reported that on September 22, the two Constables attached to the Motorised Patrol Unit, were on foot patrol at the Norman Manley International Airport when they stopped a motorist who was driving in the wrong direction on a one way street.
The driver of the vehicle failed to produce a driver's licence and called the owner to the scene.
According to police investigators, Constable Bonner then told the men that they would have to do something to prevent him from charging them.
When he was told that they did not have any money he reportedly demanded their cellular phones.
The motorists reported the incident to the police's internal affairs department.
During a sting operation, undercover agents from internal affairs reportedly approached the constables, who ran towards the mangroves near the airport.
They were chased and Constable Bonner was immediately held while Constable Bailey, who escaped into the swamp, surrendered to the police two days later.
