St Mary escapee back in custody

In a dramatic turn of events, 29-year-old Herbie Ballentine, also known as ‘Junior,’ from Frazerwood, Highgate, St Mary, Jamaica, who had escaped police custody on Friday, October 3, voluntarily surrendered to authorities on Monday. Ballentine had initially been apprehended after a confrontation with the police earlier that day, during which he sustained gunshot injuries. He was subsequently hospitalized under police supervision. However, while being transferred from the Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) to police personnel, Ballentine managed to flee the scene. Accompanied by his attorney, Ballentine presented himself at the Islington police station, where he was promptly arrested and taken into custody. The investigation into the incident remains ongoing, with further details expected to emerge as the case progresses.
