Embattled police superintendent Ewart Itza scored another victory in court yesterday when he walked free from charges of insulting a police officer and failure to provide a urine sample. Those charges date back to traffic stop gone wrong last year. Itza whose career in the police took him from the head of CIB to the head of the Dangriga police station was tainted as a bad cop in September of 2003 when he was arrested with harm and wounding for allegedly assaulting civilians inside the Dangriga police station. The DPP later stacked on charges of false imprisonment and threat of death in relation to the same incident. And though Itza was prosecuted by the DPP himself, he later walked from all those charges and yesterday his slate was wiped clean when he was found not guilty of assaulting a police officer and failure to provide a urine sample. Itza is still on interdiction from the police department and he says he is uncertain if he will rejoin the department.
