Barbados cricketer, Shaqkere Parris, has been charged with battery and is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday, July 2nd following an altercation with a taxi driver at a resort here in Antigua.
Reports indicate that Parris, who recently toured Sri Lanka with the West Indies Academy squad for a multi-format series, physically assaulted a taxi driver at the team’s hotel after the individual refused to board him as a passenger, following a heated conversation regarding an earlier incident involving a female colleague.
Observer media was able to verify with officials at the Bolans Police Station that Parris was in custody and that investigations into the matter are ongoing. Charges were later brought against the player and he was reportedly granted bail.
The top order batsman is said to have pushed and punched the driver after the taxi operator removed his luggage from the vehicle.
Observer media will continue to follow this developing story.
