Police/Court

On Friday evening, 27 October, officers responded to a report of a domestic incident at an address off Selkirk Drive in George Town. It was reported that a man had approached the residence of a woman know to him, behaved aggressively and threateningly towards her, and damaged property at the location. The man fled prior to the arrival of the police.

While conducting checks in the area, officers observed a man nearby who fit the description of the suspect. Officers approached the man, who ignored their questions and attempted to flee, resulting in a short foot pursuit. The man was soon cornered by the officers and became aggressive and resisted officers attempts to detain him. A police K-9 was deployed and the man was bitten, after which officers successfully conducted the arrest. He was transported to the Cayman Islands Hospital for treatment and subsequently discharged into police custody

The man, age 20 of West Bay, has since been formally charged with two counts of Damage to Property, and one count each of Causing Fear or Provocation of Violence, Criminal Trespass, and Resisting Arrest. He appears in court today, 30 October.
