According to eyewitnesses, Police officers on traffic duty at the Airport bypass arrested the diplomat who was driving an ash-coloured Toyota RAV 4, with number plate CD 401 – 16, for the offence of careless and inconsiderate driving which is a violation of the country’s road traffic regulations.
The eyewitnesses noted the diplomat resisted being taken to the police station for several minutes after his arrest.
In the course of his resistance, the eyewitnesses said officers effecting the arrest noted that the diplomat had on several occasions been warned for the same conduct.
