The Portmore Police have charged a man with several offences in connection with an incident on Passagefort Drive, Portmore in St. Catherine on Wednesday, February 14, 2024.
Charged is 25-year-old Antion Johnson, otherwise called ‘Rugsy’, of Kings Avenue, Naggo Head in Portmore. He is charged with the following:
- Wounding with Intent
- Malicious Destruction of Property (3 counts)
- Conspiracy
- Using a Firearm to commit a scheduled offence
