Malali boat captain faces suspension after failing breathalyzer test
The Guyana Police Force (GPF) on Monday detailed that a captain of the MV Malali is facing suspension after he failed a breathalyzer test while on duty.
Boat Captain Jermaine Blackman
That captain has been identified as Jermaine Blackman. The Police Force has released two videos showing a Police rank from Regional Division Three conducting the test on the captain while he was on duty and the vessel was en route to Leguan.
Regional Commander Senior Superintendent Errol Watts has said a request was made by the Transport and Harbours Department (T&HD) for the Police to conduct a breathalyzer test on the boat captain. Watts complied with that request, and two tests were done on the captain of the vessel. The readings were 146 and 141 respectively, which are both above the legal limit of alcohol consumption.
This captain is expected to appear in court shortly.
