Essequibo Coast man jailed for damaging Police vehicle

Police in Regional Division Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), arrested and charged a man who went berserk and damaged a vehicle that belongs to the Guyana Police Force (GPF).

Sildon Holder, a 22-year-old labourer of Hoppy Street, Dartmouth Essequibo Coast, Region Two, was arrested by Police for malicious damage to property.
It was reported that the act was committed on motor vehicle PAB 8269, attached to the Charity Police Station. Holder appeared at the Suddie Magistrate Court on Tuesday, before Magistrate Dylon Bess.
He pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment for the offence committed.
On Monday last, a video began circulating on social media of Holder in a street on the Essequibo Coast walking past the Police vehicle that was parked on the corner of the road.
Suddenly, he was seen walking across the road and began kicking the back of the vehicle, which resulted in damages. He was subsequently picked up by officers who were at the scene and taken into custody where he was later charged.
