Night club owner Freeman Fordyce is likely to face two charges this week for his November 3 clash with Police Inspector Prem Narine.
This was confirmed by Crime Chief Lyndon Alves.
Kaieteur News understands that Fordyce, the proprietor of the Diamond Hotel and Bar, will be charged with riotous behaviour and disorderly behavior.
The charges were reportedly recommended by the Police Legal Advisor. Police had launched an investigation after Fordyce alleged that Narine threatened him with a firearm.
Video footage posted online showed Fordyce resisting being searched and then punching Inspector Narine in the face. It is then that the rank draws his firearm.
The incident occurred outside of the Diamond Hotel and Bar, located in George Street, Werk-en-Rust. Police subsequently removed a number of women, including Venezuelan nationals, from the premises.
Kaieteur News understands that Fordyce was taken into custody but was released without charges.
Police reportedly searched Fordyce’s club while conducting a Trafficking in Persons investigation. This happened after police on the East Coast of Demerara intercepted a businessman who was transporting four Venezuelan women in his vehicle. The women were suspected to have been trafficked.
In January, police removed 41 foreign nationals from the same adult entertainment bar. Eight employees were also detained.
Fiona Hopkinson and Rodwell Dempster were subsequently charged for Trafficking in Person (TIP). It was alleged that they recruited, transported and harboured five Venezuelans at Diamond Hotel and Bar for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
Minister of Public Security, Khemraj Ramjattan, had said that the raid was part of a crackdown on suspected strip clubs and their associated illegal activities of human trafficking and prostitution.
