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 Thursday the 11th day of August 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.  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 along Muirhead Avenue in the parish of Clarendon, at about 12:13 pm, when my attention was drawn toward a Toyota Probox registration number PM3068. My colleague, inspector A. Williams was in the process of interacting with the driver for the said vehicle. The driver was heard using expletives, cursing and threatening police officers and my colleague inspector Anesha Williams. I heard when he said “guh suck yuh mada duty gyal,” “a kill man aguh kill yuh and carry yuh body guh dump inah cane field!” He was irate and behaving very boisterous. He was behaving in such a manner that a crowd had begun to converge in the space.  I approached the driver in an attempt to diffuse the situation, I cautioned the driver and as I was about to introduce myself he started making utterances such as “a dead sum a unuh fi bomboclaat dead” layered with multiple expletives and degrading words aimed at inspector Williams and others.  I warned the driver for intended prosecution for behaving in a disorderly manner to which he responded “a run mi aguh run diss ova unuh, anyone a unuh see mi and step out ina di road again and see, if unuh tink mi fraid fi sleep a jail.”
He was identified as Tyrone Williams of Sunset Crescent, Four Paths, Clarendon from his driver’s licence based on the documents given to Inspector Williams. I began to prepare a summons for disorderly behaviour. Based on the operator’s behaviour 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.
The summons was prepared and served accordingly to appear before the May Pen Traffic Court on Wednesday October 26, 2022. The summons was read over to Mr. Williams. When being served he stated to my colleague  “hey gyal come tan up yah suh right now and see if dem nuh affi guh come pick up yuh pieces offa mi windscreen.”
