A 27-year-old soldier has been charged with breach of the curfew and driving without a driver’s permit and a certificate of insurance.
Police reported on Wednesday that Josh Hillaire, a private attached to the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force was charged after being arrested in St James on Tuesday night.
He is expected to appear before a Port-of-Spain Magistrate on Wednesday to answer to the charges.
Police stated that officers of the Western Division Task Force (WDTF) were on patrol around 9.15pm when they stopped a Nissan Tiida motor vehicle along Bournes Road, St. James, with a lone male occupant.
When the driver was asked by officers about the reason he was in public during the curfew period, he indicated he had been out with friends and was now heading home. He also failed to produce a driver’s license and a certificate of insurance. Hillaire was charged by WPC Noriega of the WDTF.
