Cop caught on camera threatening to shoot civilians with AK-47 jailed

Police Constable Daniel Henry, attached to the Port Kaituma Police Station, who was caught on video brandishing an AK-47 in public, was charged on Thursday with possession of a firearm with intent to injure and was remanded to prison.
Henry virtually appeared before Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh at the Port Kaituma Magistrate’s Court and was not required to plead to the indictable charge when it was read to him.
As such, bail was refused, and he is expected to make his next court appearance on January 14, 2026.
The video, which was released on various social media platforms, showed a drunken Henry, dressed in civilian attire, threatening to shoot and kill civilians. The incident reportedly occurred from Friday evening into the early hours of Saturday, November 29, 2025.
However, hours after the video was posted, Commissioner of Police Clifton Hicken immediately ordered a thorough investigation into the incident. He was subsequently placed under close arrest.
The Guyana Police Force reported that the contents of the video form part of the ongoing investigation, which will determine the full extent of both disciplinary and criminal actions to be taken.
