Kern Mayers Social Share
A man awaiting an extradition hearing in relation to charges from the United States, has been granted bail after his lawyers raised certain concerns.
Counsel Joseph Delves
Kern Mayers last made headlines when he was apprehended by the police on December 10, as a man wanted in Pennsylvania, United States (US) and being on that state’s “Ten most wanted” list.
Mayers, a resident of Campden Park, was employed at an automotive parts store in Kingstown.
At the Serious Offences Court (SOC) yesterday, January 11, the prosecution indicated that their concern in the matter is that Mayers was allegedly on bail in another jurisdiction when he skipped that bail and came to this country.

The party, hosted by non-profit organization Questelles’ Beach Keepers, had a slight change in location this year.
In light of the undergoing construction of a bathroom at the beach, where the party was held last year, the Trinity Apostolic Church, its Pastor, Vincent Sobers, and other members, lent the church as a location for the festivities.
