A 63-year-old St Andrew man has been charged by the police for allegedly offering a bribe of $1,000 to cops during a traffic stop.
He is Bryon Nunez.
The police report that about 8:00 p.m. on Friday, July 17, cops were on duty in Arcadia in St Andrew when Nunez was observed driving a Suzuki Swift motor car without wearing a seat belt.
He was signalled to stop and complied.
The police say he was then informed that he had committed a traffic offence and would be issued a ticket.
Nunez allegedly took $1,000 from his wallet and offered it to the policeman, telling him that he would pay him not to issue the ticket.
He was arrested and subsequently charged.
A court date is being finalised.
