A third person was yesterday charged with wounding a policeman and robbing him in an attack last December near an Alberttown nightclub.
It is alleged that Michael Shepherd on December 15th, 2018, while being armed with a gun and in the company of others at 92 Second Street, Alberttown, robbed Julius Bowlin of a .32 service revolver, valued $125,000, and a gold chain, valued $20,000.
It is also alleged that Shepherd and others unlawfully wounded Bowlin.
Two other persons, Joshua Austin, 19, and Kester Duke, 21, have also been charged with the crime and they are currently released on bail.
Shepherd was, however, remanded to prison after an objection to bail by Police Prosecutor Sanj Singh. The matter was then adjourned until March 4th, when all the accused are to attend a hearing.
Police have said that at the time of the attack Bowlin was performing undercover duties next to a nightclub, when he was robbed and later stabbed. The attack was captured by CCTV cameras. The stolen gun was later recovered in a garbage heap in South Ruimveldt.
