On Mon­day, Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro an­nounced that an in­ves­ti­ga­tion was ini­ti­at­ed in­to al­le­ga­tions of crim­i­nal con­duct on the part of Mar­tin for her ar­rest of firearms deal­er and train­er Brent Thomas from Bar­ba­dos in Oc­to­ber 2022.

Ques­tions over whether prop­er pro­to­cols were fol­lowed in Thomas’ ar­rest arose when the mat­ter was brought be­fore High Court Judge Jus­tice De­ven­dra Ram­per­sad one year lat­er, who de­scribed the ar­rest as an “ab­duc­tion.”
