A 27-year-old New Amsterdam man is now frustrated after he was arrested without cause on Sunday evening while attempting to access the main road in New Amsterdam after the regional Mashramani parade. He was eventually released from police custody following the intervention of a sergeant after it was discovered that the arresting officer was unsure of what crime he had committed and claimed he was instructed to arrest the man.
Dequan Williams, 27, of New Amsterdam explained that he was heading to Main Street, New Amsterdam through Lad Lane when he encountered some men drinking and partying; they had vehicles that were blocking access to Main Street.
