Name-dropping man arrested for unruly conduct

NASSAU- A man was arrested for disorderly conduct after he cursed police while name dropping.

Police officers were at a curfew checkpoint near Goodman’s Bay in July 2021 when they stopped Javargo Toney’s car at 11:20pm.

This upset Toney and he became unruly. He beat on the hood of his car and told the constables, “Back the f*** up because my old man is an Assistant Superintendent of Police.”

But Toney’s name dropping didn’t work and the officers charged him with disorderly behavior.

Toney pleaded guilty to the charge before his trial began.

He told Assistant Chief Magistrate Subu Swain that his stepfather was an ASP. However, Toney said his stepdad didn’t know that he’d used his name in an attempt to get past the curfew checkpoint.

The magistrate ordered Toney to stay out of trouble for 60 days to avoid spending seven days in prison.
