MANDEVILLE, Manchester — Two men, one said to be a decommissioned justice of the peace (JP) and the other a current JP, are in police lock-up on a string of charges including uttering forged documents.

The accused men are Marvin Dean, 46, a resident of Cross Keys and Newport in Manchester; and Dudley Powell, 64, a businessman of Glenco, Spalding, on the Clarendon/Manchester border.

Police say the men were charged on Thursday and Friday after they were held by cops in an operation at the Island Traffic Authority’s Mandeville Service Hub (depot) last week.
