Clarendon Cop On Buggery Charge Chased, Recaptured After Fleeing Custody

An alleged homosexual cop, who is facing buggery charges, sent May Pen in mayhem yesterday in his bid to avoid arrest. After injuring several of his colleagues and lengthy chase, he was persuaded not to jump from the Rio Minho Bridge.

A colleague of the offending police corporal told THE STAR that the cop is being investigated by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) and a ruling had been handed down for his arrest, so he was taken to the station to be arrested and charged yesterday morning.

However, things did not go as smoothly as planned. During his arrest, he pulled a knife and inflicted several stab wounds to himself before leading a chase to the nearby Rio Minho Bridge. After a long stand-off, he was persuaded not to kill himself.

"He turned the weapon on himself, inflicting several stab wounds to his upper body, before rushing to the bridge to jump off," an investigator, who asked to remain anonymous, explained to THE STAR.

Commanding officer at the Clarendon Police Division, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Fitz Bailey, in confirming the incident, said, "I can confirm the incident and that he (corporal) is under investigation by the DPP," Bailey said.

When pressed further, he told THE STAR that the injured cop is now hospitalised in serious but stable condition at the May Pen Hospital.

According to reports reaching THE STAR, the policeman was allegedly caught on tape having sex with a male. It is said that the tape was posted on a number of social media websites before falling in the hands of the DPP.

The Gleaner's version went as follows:

Police personnel in May Pen, Clarendon, had to chase and apprehend one of their colleagues after he attempted to flee their custody today.

The incident involving 45-year-old corporal Clevan Dixon took place around 12:30 p.m.

Police personnel were preparing to take Dixon to court on buggery charges when he attempted to stab one of them before dashing outside the station. 

He was chased and was eventually held on the May Pen bridge where he reportedly attempted to jump into the Rio Minho below. 

The accused cop received several minor injuries and was taken to the May Pen Hospital for treatment.

It's expected that the police will lay further charges on Dixon when he is released from hospital.

Dixon who was recently transferred to the May Pen division is alleged to have buggered a 17-year-old boy from the parish in January.

ENDS

Sad that this is how this one ended up and that he allowed a video which is supposed to private ended up in the public domain. Yikes!

Let us see where this one goes.

Peace & tolerance
