His name is James Suazo (Swazo) but since he rushed at police officers in November, he's been called the chainsaw man. He was charged for brandishing the tool in front of Senior Superintendent of Police Chester Williams and other officers - after he was blocked from dismantling a PUP sign near the Palotti Roundabout. But police say Suazo was back at it again last night, or at least that's what Freetown Area Representative Francis Fonseca's driver says. But this time it is alleged that instead of a chainsaw, Suazo and three other men had a hammer and an unknown tool.
Fonseca's driver complained to police that Suazo along with Goldburn Adolphus - known as Easy Glenn, 23 year old Steven Bain, and 28 year old Peter Castillo were defacing a sign that said: "Francis Fonseca for Freetown and Vote PUP." The driver said that when the gang saw him, they jumped into a pickup and drove off. The men were later arrested and charged for damage to property of the $485 sign.
They appeared in court this afternoon where they were represented by Francis Fonseca's political rival in Freetown Mike Peyrefitte. The prosecutor objected to bail for James Suazo and Easy Glenn because they were involved in last November's incident. Magistrate Sharon Frazer wasn't convinced and she granted $2,000 bail to all four.
