Man claims police harassment
Gordon Marshall 39 of 3410 Stevedore Housing Scheme is alleging that his landlords’ daughter in collaboration with the police has made his life hell for the past week.
According to Marshall, he is renting the aforementioned house for $35,000 a month and has a four month old daughter with his reputed wife and a son with niece who live together.

He said the landlords’ daughter lives in the flat below him that is part of a four apartment building, and since he moved in with his wife months ago he has been experiencing the most negative occurrences with the Landlord’s daughter.
“She is constantly abusive to me and my family, she would normally knock her ceiling which is my floor, and that would cause many things to fall and break and my four month old daughter is always disturbed.”
Marshall related that he visited the East La Penitence Police Station on many occasions with reports; however, he was told by the police that he should remove from the premises if he doesn’t want to be disturbed. “The landlord daughter always go to the station after I went to contradict the statement that I give and begin to make allegation of my family.”
He explained that last Tuesday, he made another report of the problems that he is made to endure.
The police escorted him to the house and the landlords’ daughter was arrested.
However, he was called by an Inspector at the station for a confrontation on Wednesday night at 22:00 hours.
“I find it odd that I should go to the station in the night… then after the police arrested my wife with my four month old daughter the following Friday I went.”
Marshall disclosed that after visiting the station to enquire what was the issue, he was arrested and charged for what he was told was an assault on the landlords’ daughter in last January and he would need to be in court the following Monday.
“We were placed on $5,000 bail and released that night.”
He added from since his release, four different sets of police had visited his apartment and accused his wife and children of throwing water down to affect the landlords’ daughter, which he claims is not true and is just a vindictive report to harass his family.
“The police come with big guns and tell my son he will get lock up and when I come I will go in jail…they have traumatized my family.”
According to Marshall, the police are not impartial and he is concerned with the way they conducted their investigations, since allegations need to be proven and not reacted to in a manner that will affect citizens in a negative way.
