Neil Miggins, 24, also known as “Scissors Head,” was on Thursday evening shot and injured during a confrontation with police at his Sisters Village, West Bank Demerara (WBD) home.
Miggins, a suspect in an armed robbery probe, attempted to escape from police ranks but was subdued following a scuffle.
Authorities allege that Miggins, on the night of October 26, held up Ronston Bostwick with a handgun and relieved him of $300,000 in cash. Acting on this allegation, a team of officers visited his home at around 22:30h on Thursday to question him.
When approached by police, Miggins appeared at an upstairs window but denied the charges and refused to comply with officers’ instructions to open the door. Moments later, he leapt through a window from the second-storey of the building with the intent of fleeing but landed directly in the path of a waiting officer.
A struggle ensued during which Miggins reportedly grabbed at the officer’s service weapon, a 9mm pistol, in an apparent attempt to disarm him. During the altercation, the firearm discharged, striking Miggins in the lower right leg.
The suspect was immediately apprehended and transported to the West Demerara Regional Hospital (WDRH), where he received treatment for the gunshot wound. After being discharged, he was taken to the Parfaite Harmonie Police Station, where he remains in custody pending further investigation.
Police continue to investigate the case, and Miggins is expected to face charges in connection with the alleged robbery.
