Samuel Hinds Jr

Samuel Hinds Jr. last week heard that five charges against him, including assaulting a policeman, were discharged after a no-case submission made by his lawyer was upheld by a city magistrate.

Hinds Jr., the son of former longtime Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, had been charged with assaulting a policeman; resisting arrest; behaving disorderly; driving a motor vehicle for which the identification mark was not visible; and refusing to take a breathalyser test.
