Opposition politician arrested and charged with wounding

Terry Hillaire, the person who contested the St. Andrew’s North East seat for the National Democratic Congress for the 2013 General Elections, has been charged by Police for hurting a young man from his community.

He was charged with wounding and is presently on EC$2 000 bail.

The charge was slapped on Hillaire after a report was made to the Grenville Police station by a young man who claimed he was attacked by Hillaire following a confrontation he had with another person.

The incident is said to have happened during February but Police laid the charges at the conclusion of the investigations.

Hillaire is scheduled to return to court on April 24, 2014.
