The charge arose out of an incident on January 12 2019, during a police investigation concerning a stolen cow.
According to Kaniva News, the Minister is alleged to have telephoned the police officers involved and said:
“Why did you take Faioso’s cow? And stop working like a tough guy before I shoot the shit out of a Police and had Faioso found you all of his farm, he would have shot the shit out of you. “
The Appellant was subsequently charged with having breached sections 57 and 65 of the Criminal Offences Act.
