St. Elizabeth police arrested and charged Chrisford Campbell, also known as ‘Chris,’ a 25-year-old farmer from Pedro Cross District, St. Elizabeth with Assault at Common-law and Possession of Prohibited Weapon after he reportedly pointed a firearm at a police team early this year.
Reports indicate that on March 5, 2023, around 2:40 a.m., Campbell was seen at a Treasure Beach night club showing a firearm to friends. The police was notified and officers arrived at the scene.

His court date is being arranged.
