Kelvin Will Not Be Charged
posted (September 28, 2017)
Now, the question many are asking is will this youth be charged? He was with his father who was arrested for for marijuana cultivation on Sunday. Kelvin ran - and re-surfaced today - while his father was arrested and went to court on Monday.

So are there pending charges for this minor? The Prime Minister said it is unlikely:

Jules Vasquez, reporter
"Will there be charges for the minor since there were charges for his father and the allegation yet unproven is that he was at a place where marijuana cultivation?"

Rt. Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
"I don't see how the young man could ever be charged. From what the police told us when they arrived there were 2 persons that they saw; one fled or maybe both might have fled in different directions. The father was apprehended. They never apprehended that young man in that field. I don't know that there could be any sufficient identification of that young man as the person who was there. I don't see that happening at all."
