Antoinette Thompson States,
I am a gazetted Route Inspector since November 1, 2019 employed to the Transport Authority and attached to the Swansea Satellite Office, Osbourne Store, Clarendon. My duties as an Inspector include the monitoring and regulating of public passenger vehicles and prosecuting for breaches of the relevant Road Traffic enactments. 
On Friday the 8th day of July 2022 I reported for duty at 8:00 am, I was briefed accordingly by my supervisor and dispatched on a summons operation that was scheduled to take place on the said day. I was accompanied by fellow inspectors, members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force attached to the Transport Authority, and a Justice of the Peace for the parish of Clarendon Mr. S. Holness.  All members of the Transport Authority and Jamaica Constabulary Force were properly attired in our respective uniforms. My duties for the day entailed Inspection of PPV’s documents and drivers to ensure compliance as stipulated under the Transport Authority and Road Traffic Acts and Regulations. 
I along with the team assigned were conducting vehicle stop and inspection along Chapelton Road in the parish of Clarendon.  At about 9:41 am, my attention was drawn toward a Toyota Probox registration number PL7407. The driver was heard using expletives and cursing police officers and my colleague inspector Jaleel Small who was in the process of preparing summonses for offences of Failure to wear Uniform, failure to wear badge and unlawfully installing tint on a PPV. He was saying things such as “all yuh dutty police boy a gun give unuh strength out yah, mek sure anuh taxi yuh tek fi guh a yuh yaad ere!” he then stated to Inspector Small “me nah stop dig out yuh gyal belly bottom yuh hear dat, when yuh gone out a day time mi deh inah yuh bed” “hey boy step out inah di road when unuh see dis car a pass again and see if mi nuh run dis ova one a unuh!”  Whilst hitting the vehicle registered PL7407. The driver was very irate and behaving very boisterously. I approached the driver cautioned him and as I was about to introduce myself he started making utterances such as “a tik tok unuh come yah fah man, a badness unuh waa man put to unuh enuh,” I warned the driver for intended prosecution for behaving in a disorderly manner to which he responded “write me fi anything yuh a write me fah, memba seh a blood run inah your vein,” “a kill mi aguh start kill!”  “a badness unuh a push bout prosecute, hey gyal guh suck yuh mada.”
Based on the operator’s behaviour a crowd began gathering and his passengers began exiting the vehicle.  I informed the driver that he will be charged for unlawfully behaving in an uncivil and disorderly manner when acting as a driver. I got his name to be Howard Mitchell of Chapelton, Clarendon, based on his driver’s licence that he presented to Inspector Small. 
The summons was prepared and served accordingly to appear before the May Pen Traffic Court on Wednesday September 14, 2022. The summons was read over to Mr. Mitchell. When being served he stated to my colleague “yuh see di gyal weh yuh deh wid weh mi a frig, me aguh mek she stop give yuh problem.”
