According to the police report, Williams and Ramdeen approached Hercules and Forrester and requested their assistance to arrest the complainant who reportedly had money for them. The group took a taxi and went to Vreed-en-Hoop where the complainant who is a vendor was standing. The two policemen arrested him and took him to Schoonord, West Bank Demerara where he was allegedly beaten. The complainant later escaped and made a report to the police. The four men were subsequently arrested.

Hercules, Forrester and Williams were not required to plead to the charge of abduction while Ramdeen pleaded not guilty to wrongful restraint.
