"Harry Dog" freed of charges
Reputed Tivoli Gardens strongman, Harry McCloud otherwise called "Harry Dog", a key player in the Tivoli Gardens incursion, was freed of ammunition charges Thursday.
Harry Dog was charged with possession of nearly seven thousand rounds of ammunition, seized in Tivoli Gardens during the 2010 incursion to capture Christopher "Dudus" Coke. However, following a no-case submission from defence attorney Peter Champagnie, government prosecutors conceded that they did not have much of a case against Harry Dog.
At the trial it was stated that on May 25, 2010 at approximately 4 p.m. police while on operation during the Tivoli incursion spotted a Toyota Mark 2 motorcar parked in front of the office marked " Presidental Click ". The car was searched and nearly 7 thousand rounds of ammunition were found in the trunk of the car.
A further search of the vehicle revealed a Western Union slip in the glove compartment of the car in Mr McCloud's name as the recipient of funds sent from overseas. Additionally, another car was seen parked next to that car which on inspection revealed that based on its registration papers, it belonged to Mr. McCloud. It was revealed that the car in which the ammunition was found had been stolen in March of 2006.
After hearing the submissions, Justice Glen Brown, dismissed the case. Harry Dog remains behind bars Thursday afternoon as he's awaiting trial on a charge of murder.
