Use digital channels responsibly.
That’s the warning to members of the public from the Jamaica Constabulary Force, JCF.
The admonition comes after a St. Catherine man was charged over the weekend, following investigations into malicious online content, which, according to the JCF, incited violence against its members.
The accused is identified as 30-year-old Kevaughn Spencer, otherwise called ‘Asus Major’ and ‘Kevydan Blazing’, of a Portmore address.
Spencer has been charged with the use of a computer for malicious communication and the use of audio or audio-visual communication to promote criminal activity.
In a statement on Monday, the JCF says that on September 18 a video was posted on social media inciting violence against members of the JCF and their families.
It says the video also sought to instigate general disorder and violence towards law enforcement personnel.
A police investigation was subsequently launched and an operation carried out at Spencer’s house on Thursday, September 24.
But Spencer was not found.
On Saturday, September 26, Spencer reportedly turned himself in to the police, accompanied by his attorney.
Following an interview, he was subsequently charged.
Divisional Commander for the Transnational Crime Investigation Division, Deputy Superintendent Troy Daure, says the JCF takes all cyber-threats and incitements of violence seriously and will intensively pursue them.
