Miner arrested after Mahdia warrant hunt turns into violent scuffle

A 25-year-old gold miner of 111 Miles, Mahdia, Potaro, Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni) was arrested on Sunday during a police operation in relation to several warrants issued following his conviction for multiple offences. Kellon Henry, was apprehended at about 10:10h on Sunday, when ranks from the Mahdia Police Station acted on information and carried out an operation in the 111 Miles area.
During the exercise, Henry was reportedly arrested without incident; however, police said he later became disorderly, resulting in a scuffle between him and a police rank. As a result of the confrontation, both Henry and the rank sustained injuries. Henry was subsequently subdued, taken into custody, and escorted to the Mahdia Police Station, where he was detained. The injured parties were later taken to the Mahdia District Hospital, where they were examined by a doctor on duty, treated, and sent away. Henry remains in police custody as investigations continue.
