No Bail For Corrupt Cops
Const Ryan Mahabir and Const Justin Charles were denied bail on charges of perverting the course of justice after allegedly soliciting $1,500 from Michael Lewis after he failed a breathalyzer test on May 2, around 3:30 A.M. After a report was made, the constables were arrested by officers from the Professional Standards Bureau (PSB) on May 24th.
