NASSAU-A Jamaican man, who allegedly warned an armed robbery suspect that police were looking for him, has been charged with obstruction.
Shemore McClean, 19, will go to trial on the accusation next week.
Prosecutors allege that officers went to McClean’s home at Bamboo Street, Golden Gates in search of wanted suspect Shakeil Smith on June 10.
The wanted man allegedly called McClean’s cellphone while the officers were there.
And, the officers instructed McClean to take the call.
However, the plan backfired. That’s because McClean allegedly told the caller, “Beuy, the man here. Go, go, run.”
As a result, police arrested McClean for obstruction.
McClean initially pleaded guilty, but the magistrate did not accept his plea.
McClean is in the country visiting his mother, who is married to a Bahamian.
He’s been freed on $500 bail.
Meanwhile, police are still looking for Smith.
