Jerome Taylor arrested in alleged police altercation

The 25-year-old Taylor, who is currently recovering from a back strain after breaking down on the recent West Indies tour of Australia, was granted bail early yesterday and is to appear in the Santa Cruz Resident Magistrate’s Court on January 12.

Inspector Lanford Salmon in charge of the Junction Police told the Observer that Taylor was in a bar at sometime after 11:00 pm when police officers visited and reminded the bar tender that under the law governing the granting of Spirit Licenses the establishment should have been closed at 9:00 pm.
