An of­fi­cial state­ment from the Po­lice Ser­vice says JOSEPH LESTER GLAS­GOW of Nel­son Street, Port-of-Spain, was re­mand­ed in­to cus­tody by Mag­is­trate Mau­reen Ba­boolal-Gafoor. He is sched­uled to reap­pear be­fore the court De­cem­ber 6th.

GLAS­GOW was charged with the of­fence fol­low­ing ad­vice from Di­rec­tor of Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tions, Roger Gas­pard, SC, on the same day.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice re­ports, at 7:57 pm on Oc­to­ber 1st, Dwayne Vic­tor Reid, al­so called “Gua­na Man”, was seat­ed on a cul­vert on the North­ern side of the Bri­an Lara Prom­e­nade when he was ap­proached from the rear by a man who was armed with a gun. It is al­leged that the gun­man fired sev­er­al shots at Reid caus­ing him to col­lapse on the pave­ment. The as­sailant then fled the scene.

A sus­pect was ar­rest­ed by of­fi­cers at­tached to the In­ter Agency Task Force on Oc­to­ber 30th.
