Cop charged with driving under the influence in Tuschen case

Police Sergeant Shivram Murugayya was today charged with driving under the influence and operating an unlicensed motor vehicle.
He appeared before Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo at the Vreed-en-Hoop Magistrate Court where he pleaded “not guilty” to both charges, and was placed on bail to return to court on January 14, 2014, police said.
The case stems from an incident yesterday when a Tuschen boy was knocked down by a car that the cop was allegedly driving.
