February 6, 2019

PHILIPSBURG: Reliable information reaching SMN News states that PJIAE Chief Security Jerry Sprott who is in police custody since January 16th, 2019 had to be rushed to the St. Maarten Medical Center with serious health conditions. The source Saud Sprott have been complaining of feeling unwell but was ignored until his spouse visited him on Tuesday and saw something was terribly wrong with her husband. The Prosecutors Office has confirmed that they were notified by Sprott’s lawyer that he was taken to the hospital for emergency care.

Attorney at Law Sjamira Roseburg contacted SMN News and confirmed that her client was taken to St. Maarten Medical Center because he was feeling unwell. Roseburg said that she went to SMMC to see her client when she was informed that her client was taken to SMMC, “When I reached SMMC I was denied access to see my client as the guard there told me that management of SMMC would have to give approval before I can see my client. I called the Prison and the Minister’s Office to inform that my client rights have been violated and that the law clearly states that Attorneys must have access to their clients at all times. It took more than an hour before I finally get to see my client even though I contacted the Prosecutor’s Office.” Roseburg said.
