The sale of a truck to the Mayor and City Council of Georgetown (M&CC) was reportedly the basis of a physical altercation between an officer of the City Constabulary and the vendor yesterday.
The incident which occurred some time after 13:00 hours, was characterised by a boxing match which was sparked by an attempt by the officer to escort the private citizen out of the municipal compound.
While it is not clear who ordered the eviction of the man from the premises, this newspaper witnessed the attempt to have the man removed and the subsequent physical altercation which was appeased following the intervention of other officers. The man was promptly arrested but was expected to be released soon after.
According to a senior City Constabulary officer, while the man may have reacted out of frustration, he was directing his concern to the wrong department. “We understand how he feels. Even staffers working here are sometimes frustrated but there are the relevant officers who you need to direct your concerns to…”
The man had sold a truck to the municipality but has not been in receipt of full payment. It was revealed that the vehicle is valued at several millions of dollars.
Reports are that the man has sought audience with various municipal officials on a number of occasions but has still been denied payment.
Acting Public Relations Officer, Debra Lewis was unable to comment on the state of affairs yesterday but noted that the matter will have to be dealt with by the relevant officers.
