He is to surrender his travel documents and a stop order was put in place. He is set to return to court on September 23.

The Crown is alleging that, on the day of the incident, the police corporal collected monies from the driver of a coaster bus to secure the release of the vehicle that was seized by him.

The corporal reportedly seized the bus near East Queen Street, sometime last month, after his inspection of the bus documents revealed that the driver was operating contrary to his road licence.

He and the complainant allegedly reached an agreement for the release of the public-passenger vehicle by unlawful means.

The prosecution informed Senior Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey that the monetary exchange was recorded during a sting operation on the grounds of a church.
