PHILIPSBURG:--- The “Around the Town Jump Up” which took place on Saturday, March 24th was well attended by the community. This jump-up started on time at 08.00 p.m. at Munchi’s in Sucker Garden and ended around midnight at Abu Ghazis in Madame Estate. The Police Department had their hands full trying to break-up the many fights that were taking place in the jump-up. The commander of the team task with the dealing with this type of behavior reported that on several occasions persons had to physically be moved for the team to get to those who were involved in the fights. On several occasions, bystanders got involved or obstructed the officers from doing their jobs and also did not want to follow the orders or instructions from the officers.
No one was reported injured and no one was arrested so far. However, the Police Department is reminding the entire community this just like prior years a Zero Tolerance Policy is in place for any misconduct during the Carnival period. Any misconduct will result in the arrest of that person or persons who will suffer all consequences that come with it.
