Police in Jamaica arrested and charged a pastor on Sunday for breaching the Disaster Risk Management Order 2020.
Cynthia Williams, 54, resides at a Gregory Park address in St. Catherine.
Lawmen were summoned to the area around 9:15 a.m. (local time) on Sunday where they made checks, which revealed that a church service was in progress at Williams’ home with more than 50 people in attendance.
Williams is scheduled to appear before the St. Catherine Parish Court on Tuesday, July 28.
Police are reminding Jamaicans that no more than 10 people are permitted to gather in a given area. Breaching this order could result in fines of up to JM$1 million and imprisonment for up to one year.
