Drunk cop waves AK-47 in Port Kaituma
— rank under close arrest
(Kaieteur News) – A police constable stationed in Region One has been placed under close arrest after a video posted to social media showed him walking around Port Kaituma, North West District, with a force-issued AK-47 while reportedly intoxicated.
The video shows the rank, dressed in casual clothes and holding the rifle while arguing with another individual. At one point, he threatened to shoot the person he was confronting while pacing up and down the street. During the exchange, two gunshots were heard and several persons, who referred to the rank as “Henry,” attempted to calm him down and eventually got him to walk away.

The police noted that the rank seen in the video “has since been placed under close arrest and the Office of Professional Responsibility has been instructed to commence a detailed investigation immediately.”
According to the GPF, “The contents of the video form part of the ongoing investigation which will determine the full extent of both disciplinary and criminal actions to be taken.”
The Force said it remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and accountability and further information will be provided at the appropriate stage as the investigation progresses.

his protection and at the same time, could not HOLD his liquor. Must be the
local brew from the Amerindians ?
He may have been following the exhibition of the cops who arrested the
Mohameds .
