A MAN who spent about 66 hours in police custody over a robbery investigation has been awarded $100,000 in damages after a High Court judge ruled that his arrest and detention were unlawful.
Justice Sherlanne Pierre ruled in favour of Jevon Craig on Thursday in his claim against the Office of the Attorney General for unlawful arrest and false imprisonment.
Craig was arrested on August 24, 2023, in connection with a robbery with aggravation reported to the Arima Police Station 12 days earlier. He was released without charge on August 27.
