Gerald Tillett known as Shiny he's the brother to the boss of George Street, Pinky Tillett - and that's why it made news today when he was taken to court and charged for three offences.
After a brush with the Gang Suppression Unit at a home on Allenby Street, Tillett was charged with assaulting a police officer, obstruction and resisting arrest. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and he was released on a bail of two thousand dollars. He re-appears in court on April sixth.
According to the police, they went to search a home on Allenby Street last night and Tillett stood in the doorway and refused to allow them to enter. Sergeant Cordell Augustine said when he tried to arrest Tillett for assaulting him, Tillett resisted. But a member of Tillet's family had another story: she said that Shiny was beaten by the police and claim that $300.00 was taken from him.
The family member said that when Tillett told the police to give her the money, the police refused to do so.
