MONTEGO BAY, St James — There should be an improvement in garbage collection in St James and fewer fires at the Retirement dump following the fatal shooting of Jason “Squidly” Gallimore by the police last week.

Senior superintendent of police in charge of the parish, Eron Samuels, says Gallimore was a known violence producer who had a vice grip on the area of the Retirement dump.

“Members of the NSWMA (National Solid Waste Management Authority) must be happy because that particular individual really wrought havoc in the dump area,” Samuels told last Thursday’s regular monthly meeting of St James Municipal Corporation.
