ST CATHERINE, Jamaica — Delroy ‘Jockey’ Walker, a 21-year-old apprentice jockey from Carol Crescent in Newlands, Portmore, has been charged with several serious offences following an armed robbery incident last month. The charges against Walker include robbery with aggravation, possession of a prohibited weapon, using a prohibited weapon to commit a scheduled offence, and assault at common law.
