ON-DUTY SECURITY GUARD CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING FEMALE BAR EMPLOYEE

A security guard from Lower Estate has been charged and subsequently bailed after allegedly assaulting a female employee of a bar in Purcell Estate.

This is according to a media release from the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force dated Wednesday January 12, which listed Keithley Liburd as the charged security guard.

Police said that the incident involving the 47-year-old male and the bar employee was all caught on camera, adding that the two were both on duty in their respective roles.

The RVIPF said, “The charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm stemmed from an altercation between two, captured on video, as she was being escorted outside and away from the premises.”

“The female employee later laid a complaint against Liburd who was, at the time, providing security services for the establishment,” the police added.

The report said that Liburd was granted bail in the sum of $3,000 with a signed surety to appear before the Magistrate’s Court on March 1, 2022.
