Police: No decision yet on threat charges

POLICE could not say when charge(s) might be brought against a local political activist after a threat to shoot National Security State Minister Keith Bell with an AK47 appeared on his Facebook page.

Assistant Police Commissioner Anthony Ferguson’s answer to the question yesterday was “hopefully tomorrow”, while also indicating that any reports on social media that Omar Archer Sr had been charged with are inaccurate.

On Thursday evening, a long message published on Mr Archer’s dedicated page on the internet website Facebook, alleges the government was somehow complicit in the death of Julian “Heads” Collie.

A series of allegations concerning the government, the police and crime were contained in a post that has since been deleted but was being “shared” across social media.

The message starts: “This PLP government has drawn the line with me.”

It goes on to say Collie was “like a brother” and claims Collie’s death and other reported murders can be attributed to an alleged conspiracy involving the government and local gangs.

It concludes with a threat to Keith Bell, Minister of State in the Ministry of National Security.

Archer was arrested the following day, Friday, around 5:30pm on Dodge Road.
