Yet another policeman is behind bars on allegations of
corruption.
He was picked up late Monday afternoon following a sting operation involving members of the Police Anti-Corruption Branch on Constant Spring Road in St. Andrew.
Head of the Anti-Corruption Branch Assistant Commissioner Justin Felice says the policeman was allegedly caught extorting money from a motorist.
"The Anti-Corruption received a complaint by a member of the public who was stopped by a police officer who was attempting to extort money from him to not give him a ticket for a traffic violation," said ACP Felice.
He says details on the policeman will be released Tuesday.
It was the third time in a week that police personnel were held in an anti-corruption dragnet.
Four policemen were arrested on Wednesday for the 2004 disappearance of two men from a plaza on Washington Boulevard in St. Andrew.
On Thursday a Detective Sergeant and a Constable were arrested for accepting money to obtain a Jamaican passport for the proprietor of a supermarket in St. Catherine.
The proprietor is a foreign national with a work permit and was not entitled to a Jamaican passport.
