Duo on $50,000 bail after denying cursing cop

Two men were on Monday placed on $50,000 bail after they denied allegations that they shouted at and cursed a police officer.

According to Prosecutor John Singh, Lloyd Sadloo, 34, a carpenter of Lot 6 Quamina Road, Beterverwagting and Mervin Liverpool, 37, of D’Urban Backlands raised their voice on a police officer above the normal tone and cursed a police officer.

Both men pleaded guilty to disorderly behaviour charges because they wanted their troubles to be over with but when Magistrate Zamilla Ally asked if they agreed with the prosecutor’s account of what took place they both said they did not. As a result, not guilty pleas were recorded for them.

Sadloo said the police manhandled him, causing him head injuries.
