A Police Constable was on Tuesday placed on $40,000 bail when he appeared before Magistrate Ann McLennan, charged for allowing a prisoner to escape from lawful custody. Noel Trotman of Anna Catherina, West Coast Demerara pleaded not guilty to the charge. It is alleged that on September 17, 2015, the 54-year-old Constable who was stationed at Mahdia Police Station, Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni), through his negligence allowed prisoner David Peter to escape from custody. According to the Prosecution’s case, Peter was charged with trafficking narcotics and was being held at the Mahdia Police Station when he escaped. Trotman was represented by Attorney-at-Law Adrian Thompson. In a bail application, Thompson told the court that his client was married with five children and has been a serving member of the Guyana Police Force for over 36 years. The lawyer stated that it was unfortunate that his client was being charged for the offence since he was nearing retirement. Meanwhile, Police Prosecutor Deniro Jones did not object to bail but requested that it be substantial. The case will continue at the Mahdia Magistrate’s Court on January 19, 2016.
