ST CATHERINE, Jamaica – Charges have been laid against a 28-year-old man after he allegedly abducted his ex-girlfriend on St John’s Road, St Catherine on Friday, January 19.

Charged is Nigel Pusey, a car washer of Red Pond district, Frazer’s Content in the parish. He was charged with possession of prohibited weapons, assault at common law, abduction and malicious destruction of property.

Reports from the Spanish Town Police are that about 6:20 pm, Pusey went to the home of a woman he had a relationship with, and allegedly smashed her windows and cut her light wires. He allegedly later approached the woman, who was on the way home from work, and pointed a firearm at her before instructing her to get into his vehicle.

Pusey then reportedly drove to a petrol station in the area, where he stopped to get petrol. Whilst there, the woman made her escape and reported the matter to the police. Pusey was subsequently arrested and formally charged on Friday.

He is scheduled to appear before the St Catherine Parish Court on Friday, February 2.
