Two Vincentian men, Deverson Williams and St Elmore Garraway, have been charged after they allegedly played a role in preventing police from apprehending longtime fugitive Nyron Erickson last Sunday, July 12, 2020.
Williams, 37, a resident of Belle Vue, was charged with ‘Obstructing a police officer’. He pleaded guilty.
Garraway, 42, a resident of Georges North Side, was charged with ‘Perverting the course of justice,’ and was not required to plead when the charge was put to him during their arraignment hearing on Wednesday July 15, 2020 at the Magistrate’s Court.
According to Prosecutor with the Director of Public Prosecution’s Office Kael London, indicates that last Sunday, July 12, 2020, police officers visited Garraway’s residence in Georges North Side to execute a search warrant.
While making their way to the residence, they noticed Williams having a telephone conversation on his cellular phone outside of the building.
The officers immediately shouted ‘Armed, Police! Don’t move!’; however, Williams ran indoors and locked the door behind him.
The officers then proceeded to the house, and overheard someone shouting ‘Police! Police!’ and they observed persons in the house scampering, including fugitive Nyron Erickson.
Erickson is said to have made good his escape in the nearby bushes.
The two men are currently on bail and the matter has been adjourned to September 30, 2020.
