Police had not stated why Mr Erickson was wanted.
Erickson had previously escaped arrest- Police
It was in July 2020, that two Vincentian men were arrested and placed before the court allegedly playing a role in preventing police from apprehending Mr Erickson on July 12, 2020.
Mr Deverson Williams, 37, of Belle Vue, was charged with ‘Obstructing a police officer’ and pleaded not guilty while St Elmore Garraway, 42, of George’s North Side, was charged with ‘Perverting the course of justice,’ and was not required to plead when the charge was put to him during their arraignment hearing on Wednesday July 15, 2020 at the Magistrate’s Court.
Police had reportedly visited visited Garraway’s residence in Georges North Side to execute a search warrant when they noticed Williams having a conversation on his cellular phone outside of the building.
The officers, according to information revealed in the Magistrate’s Court, immediately shouted ‘Armed, Police! Don’t move!’; however, Williams ran indoors and locked the door behind him.
The officers then proceeded to the house, and overheard someone shouting ‘Police! Police!’ and they observed persons in the house scampering, including fugitive Nyron Erickson.
Erickson reportedly made good his escape by running to the back porch and disappearing, along with others unknown, into the nearby bushes in the area.
In the meantime, police officers had to force their way into the house and during their search, found the duo, as well as Trevon Cumberbatch, who was charged with illegal entry, hiding about the house and premises.
Police also found surveillance footage of the property depicting Erickson and others arriving at the property at about 4:00 pm that day.

So he were an extremely dangerous terrorist it would have been chaos then because you cannot apprehended the nickel and dime criminals, that simply makes you a laughingstock of police services worldwide.
Sometimes I ask myself if that Commissioner Matthews really thinks wisely before he utters his statements to the public. For he acts like he's a one eyed man in blind man country.
are you on? You come here with your half baked attempt to sound intellectual, but it fell flat. How about giving some support to the police? Maybe you venting about something else. The police took away your white fowl?

Ephesians 5:11-13 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.
