Man posing with guns in social media video rearrested

…Police awaiting report from DPP

A few days after High Court Judge Simone Morris-Ramlall had ordered Police Commissioner Leslie James to release Jermaine Kingston from custody days after he had been arrested for displaying a cache of firearms, Kingston is back in Police custody.
The Top Cop had been served with the court order for Kingston’s release two weeks ago, following a virtual hearing in which defence lawyers had argued that the 72-hour detentio

n period had expired.
When contacted, acting Police Commander Senior Superintendent Phillip Azore confirmed that Kingston had been rearrested. He said that lawmen have submitted a report to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), and are awaiting the return of that report before hauling Kingston before the court.
Following a writ of habeas corpus filed on Kingston’s behalf by John Marcus through Attorney-at-Law Everton Singh Lammy, Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall had ordered that Kingston be immediately released from custody, and he was also awarded $150,000 as damages.
Failure to comply with that order would have constituted sufficient ground for holding the Commissioner in contempt of court and thereby liable to imprisonment or having his assets confiscated.

The 26-year-old man was initially arrested on June 17, and a number of firearms belonging to a private security firm were seized following the circulation of a video on social media in which he was heard making threatening remarks.
