WEARING HANDCUFFS, a police officer, his brother and another man were taken to the District “A” Criminal Court before scores of onlookers, mainly policemen, who also crowded the courtroom yesterday.

Special Constable Jimmy Carlos O’Brian Thorne, his brother Jamal Andre Thorne and businessman Ross Ryan Ashton went before Acting Magistrate Alliston Seale in a drugs case that has been a major talking point across Barbados in the last two days.

The three men were remanded and hustled out of the court in handcuffs to be taken to Dodds Prison, before returning to court next Thursday. (CC)
