It is understood that the policeman, Officer Shawn Williams, initially told investigators that he was shot by an unknown assailant while in the Spring Bay area of the sister island.

However, investigators later found that the cop accidentally shot himself and lied about the incident. Although the exact date isn’t known, BVI News understands that he was discharged during the latter part of 2020.

It’s also understood that the shooting incident isn’t the only reason he was discharged from Force. Among other things, it’s understood that drugs were found in the clothes he was wearing when the shooting incident took place.

He was then ordered to undergo drug tests which returned positive results. BVI News hasn’t been able to ascertain the quantity of drugs discovered or the exact substance for which the cop tested positive.

    Not surprise at all…Another investigation that need looking into is the one with those 2 young men also in VG who claim that a “mask man” shot them. That sounds like a make up story also. Please dont stop investigating….because I dont believe anybody shot them. Also, the Situation with the Young man who die from that Scooter incident in VG also NEED checking out.

    This story wreaks of sensationalism. Drugs? Are we talking about Marijuana that is legal around the world and used by everybody on all levels? Why this story come out now? Seems like the police trying to protect themselves and took a preemptive strike against this man to tarnish his name in the public space before he tries to take any kind of legal action. No proof he shot herself self.

    Yes, these cases need serious investigation please…the stories are ALL made up. The Family of Glenford “Stash” Young need closure mehson, I see the hurt on his family everyday. It could not have been a Scooter accident and nothing happen to his bike or no proof of another vehicle crashing with him. Somebody saw something that night. Seems like we have some real criminals living among us.

  8. Musa says:

    If these young guys killing and hurting them self where the next generation will come from?

  9. No justice in the BVI says:

    Where was this cop from? Guaranteed he was not a belonger.
    A year ago a VG man ran over 2 snorkelers killing one. No charges filed. Boat owned by prominent island owner.
    It is who you know. How much money you got.
    BUT the same crappie police And no justice!
