A Claxton Bay man will receive compensation from the state for the fourth time in eight years after being wrongfully arrested by police in 2016 for a robbery he did not commit, despite video evidence proving he was not at the scene.

Justice Kevin Ramcharan ordered compensation for Mark Hagley after finding police had no reasonable or probable cause to arrest him.

“His arrest and subsequent detention were therefore unlawful. There will be judgment for the claimant,” Ramcharan ruled on May 12.
