Village chairman charged for threatening minister

The Chairman of Lucky Strike Village has run out of luck when it comes to Minister of State in the Ministry of Works, Edmund Castro. Mike Pollard has been charged with two counts of Aggravated Assault for pulling a shotgun at Castro and his driver. It is reported that Castro went to the community center to remove some pipes and that Pollard denied the men entrance to the building. There is an old beef between Pollard and Castro which goes back to accusations made by Castro that repairs made to a health center earlier this year were not up to standard.
