Police says he acted on information received from Crime Chief

Extradition hearing

Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), Eon Alonzo, was the first to take to the witness stand as the extradition hearing for murder accused Troy Anthony Thomas began at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Alonzo, who is attached to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Narcotics Branch testifies on Friday in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus.
He was cross examined by Thomas’s Attorney Nigel Hughes and representative of the Government of the United States, Stacy Gooding.
Alonzo told the court that on March 14, 2018, himself and several other officers

were preforming duties when they received information from Crime Chief Paul Williams to make the arrest.
Alonzo testified that he was instructed to going to the home of the accused at Liliendaal, Greater Georgetown, and arrest him. Thomas subsequently gave his name as “Marvin Williams”.
Moreover, Alonzo summoned the accused to produce his identification card, or passport or any other document that would provide him with positive identification. The ASP further testified that Thomas failed to produce such documents.
Thomas was then taken to the CID Headquarters where he was placed into custody.
Alonzo was the only witness to take the stand on Friday, as the matter was adjourned to March 26.
Thomas, a Guyanese national, is wanted in New York, USA in connection with the 2011 murder of Keith Frank in Richmond Hill, New York.
Thomas and the now deceased man reportedly had a confrontation outside a nightclub when Frank was shot multiple times about his body.
Thomas was reportedly identified as the shooter and an arrest warrant was issued for him by INTERPOL.
