Police Officer Arraigned for Wounding Fellow Officer in Barracks Incident

A police officer was taken to court today after he was charged with wounding a fellow officer at a barracks on Vernon Street.  37-year-old, Albert Clinton Sutherland, was arraigned before a senior magistrate where he pleaded not guilty to the charge.  He was granted bail in the sum of one thousand dollars which he met.  One of the conditions of his bail is to not interfere with the victim, 34-year-old, Arnaldo Ical.  The backstory to this matter is the on July 12, Sutherland aggressed Ical and punched him in the face.  Sutherland was reportedly on the phone, pacing up and down the verandah when he confronted and assaulted Ical.  The police were called to the location and found Ical with the left side of his face swollen and a cut lip.  Sutherland was criminally charged and placed on interdiction.  It is uncertain why his arraignment comes twenty seven days after the incident occurred.  Sutherland is expected to return to court on October 7.
