Yesterday, 7News told you about the accident near the Data Pro Compound in which at around 3 p.m.
As we reported, a Toyota Prado with government plates which flipped and tumbled off the road. 4 prison officers were hitching a ride, and they received injures.
As we told you, the officers responding to the accident found contraband beer, and today, the media asked the Regional Executive Officer to comment on that find.
Here's how he responded:
Daniel Ortiz
"It was an accident in which the police had to respond to and they found a contraband licquor in the vehicle"
ASP Chris Noble - Regional Executive Officer
"We had an accident that we did respond to involving a Government vehicle but regards to contraband, I believe they were damaged, beer on scene but to say that it was inside the vehicle or had been there prior to the vehicle being in the accident, I can't say"
Daniel Ortiz
"So can you tell us about the beer Sir, is it legal?
ASP Chris Noble
"I wouldn't be able to say"
The person who was driving the vehicle is a public officer, and according to Noble, he's been charged with taking a conveyance without permission. That's because he allegedly didn't have permission to drive the vehicle. He is expected to be arraigned at the earliest convenience. The hundred thousand dollar vehicle is, for all intents and purposes, a write off.
