Mud also confirmed that Calvic David (Mathew) was among those released as he too was arrested with being in possession of a kitchen knife. No other details on David's arrest have been released.
Mud said he hoped that those persons who were apprehended during the carnival season for being in possession of a weapon learned a meaningful lesson during the time they spent in jail. Mud made clear that the police and his office had announced earlier that persons who were found with weapons were going to be locked up until after carnival is over. "Carnival is meant for people to have fun and not shed blood." Mud said.
