Things Getting Hard For Easy Glen
posted (December 20, 2012)
At today's police press conference, the Commissioner also discussed the Easy Glen fiasco.

As we've told you, as much as a month ago, Goldbourne Easy Glen Adolphus was implicated in a hustle using Michael Finnegan's name to boost money out of Government Departments and business people.

Finnegan says he told the Commissioner, but the COMPOL was about to hop on a flight - and delegated the follow up - which meant there was no follow up - which also meant the alleged hustle continued unabated until this week when things came to a head. Henderson told us that while Easy Glen and his alleged partner in crime James Swaso have been detained, so far no one has made a complaint.

David Henderson, Commissioner of Police
"The Minister did inform me and I have since directed the officer to have the fellow picked up and make the necessary inquiry. Nevertheless he was not picked up at the time and the officer has been reprimanded for it - that situation and the other districts were informed. He has since been picked up and he is being dealt with at this time."

Jules Vasquez
"Will he be charged?"

David Henderson, Commissioner of Police
"We are still waiting to have an official report but he has been picked up and an inquiry is being made at this time."

Late reports to 7News today are that two complaints have been made - one of them by a senior government official who was approached for a bogus payment.
