The Criminal Court ‘C’ has ordered the arrest and detention of former Transitional Chairman, Charles Gyude Bryant.
According to our Judicial Correspondent, state prosecutors asked the court to arrest Mr. Bryant for bill jumping.
The court accepted the state request on ground that Mr. Bryant disrespected it by refusing to accept an assignment notice from the court.
Mr. Bryant reportedly wrote the court to give him thirty days to get a new defense team but the court denied ever receiving such communication.
The arrest and detention of the former transitional chairman would now lead him to the Monrovia Central Prison.
Mr. Bryant is facing trial for allegedly causing financial loss to the state during his two-year transitional period.
