The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda has revealed that officers had been searching for Washington Bramble in connection with an ongoing investigation before his arrest at a public town hall meeting on Wednesday evening.
According to a statement issued by the Police Administration on Thursday, October 22, several attempts had been made to locate Bramble for questioning in relation to a previous matter at Grays Farm, but those efforts were unsuccessful.
His arrest eventually took place on Wednesday, October 21, during a town hall meeting at the John E. St. Luce Finance and Conference Centre.
The circumstances surrounding the arrest prompted the Police Administration to issue a clarification, stressing that the police action had nothing to do with Bramble's attendance or participation in the public meeting.
Authorities maintained that the arrest was connected solely to the ongoing investigation involving the earlier incident at Grays Farm.
The police statement did not disclose the nature of that investigation or indicate whether any charges had been brought against Bramble.
Meanwhile, the Police Administration reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining public safety and security throughout Antigua and Barbuda.
It also appealed to citizens and residents to continue cooperating with law enforcement officers as they carry out their duties.
The Administration stressed that public cooperation remains essential to effective policing and the preservation of peace and security across the country.

When was the arrest warrant signed? Would he have disappeared after the meeting? When did the police make a public appeal to locate him. He has a full time job, he has not being reporting for duty? Another case Bramble will win.

Of Course The Police Are Lying To Cover Their Usual Poor Judgement When Carrying Out Their Duties. Bramble was DRAGGED out, not even handcuffs for a man they claimed they have been looking for. Then the police wants public support after dealing with a member of the public in public like this? Such A Disgrace.

Seems as though Bramble is about to get a substantial cheque from the public purse. This case of discrimination played out in view of 1000s across various platforms.
