A day after she alleged that she was threatened at her home, former government minister Simona Broomes was yesterday faced with allegations that she and her driver/bodyguard threatened and assaulted one of two men they confronted in the aftermath.
When contacted yesterday afternoon, Commander of Region 4(A), Senior Superintendent Phillip Azore, told Stabroek News that both Broomes and her bodyguard were questioned in connection with the incident. He did not divulge any other details.
However, a police source told Stabroek News that Broomes and her bodyguard were detained yesterday morning. Broomes was subsequently released on station bail while her bodyguard remained in police custody.
