Cricketer Kevon Cooper and former national footballer Shane Calderon spent Easter Sunday morning in the holding cell of the Woodbrook Police Station after they were arrested for using obscene language and resisting arrest in an altercation.
Cooper’s attorney Christian Chandler said at around 3 am the two parked their car on Baden-Powell Street, Woodbrook, near the police station. A police officer told them they could not park there but the two said they did not see a “no parking” sign on the street and objected. When Cooper and Calderon refused to move, they were arrested.
Cooper was charged for using obscene language, resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer, while Calderon was charged for using obscene language, two counts of obstructing a police officer in the execution of their duty and assault to prevent lawful detention.
Both were granted station bail of $20,000 and are expected to appear before a Port-of-Spain Magistrate tomorrow.
