Man admits assaulting, insulting Special Constable

A man who threatened to shoot a special constable was remanded to Dodds Prison on Monday.

Khalil Javaar Hurley, 25, of Scott’s Gap, Britton’s Hill, St Michael pleaded guilty to four charges including issuing threats, using insulting language and resisting and assaulting Special Constable 386 Alleyne.

Sergeant Randolph Boyce told the court that on July 19 the special constable was on duty along Richard Haynes Boardwalk in Christ Church and had reason to speak to Hurley regarding a report which was made.

He became boisterous and said to Alleyne “You is freak, go from around me. I will shoot you”. Despite being warned, Hurley continued “You is a *** idiot and a foolish ****”. As the constable attempted to arrest him, Hurley struggled violently, striking and scratching the constable on his hand and damaging his watch in the process.

Appearing before Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes in the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court, Hurley admitted to the charges. He returns to court on August 19 for sentencing.
