Well-known retired Assistant Superintendent of Police Francis Williams was badly beaten by three men who allegedly jumped him one week ago. Police have arrested the suspects and they appeared today before Acting Chief Magistrate Sharon Fraser today.
They are 24 year old security guard Darrell Brown, his brother, 29 year old personal trainer Rayford Brown, and 28 year old sales agent Eckert Powell, from Freedom Street. They all pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor objected to bail and Acting Chief Magistrate Fraser offered Rayford Brown a bail of $1,500 while she remanded Darrell Brown and Powell until October 19.
On Sunday, Williams was driving his pickup on Unity Street when he pulled up at a location where a party was being held. He claims that when he got out of his vehicle, one of the men punched him twice in his face while another hit him on the back of his head with a pint bottle and he fell to the ground. He said that's when they kicked him several times until he lost a tooth. A doctor classified his injury as wounding.
