Athlete detained, flown to Tobago for ID parade

A 23-year-old athlete was arrested on Sunday and flown early yesterday to Tobago, where he was expected to be placed on an identification parade in connection with a hit-and-run accident.

Tobago police alerted their colleagues on Sunday that they needed assistance to detain the well-known athlete in connection with the fatality.

He was taken into custody on Sunday afternoon and arrangements made for him to be flown to Tobago early yesterday.
