ANOTHER JAMAICAN national has made the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) 'Most Wanted' list. Clayton Wright has been placed on top of the October most wanted fugitive list.
A warrant for his arrest was issued on June 21 this year by the Kings County Supreme Court, Brooklyn, New York. He has also failed to appear in court after he was arrested in Brooklyn on February 10, 2002, on drug and gun charges. This is according to a report posted on the FBI Web site.
Wright, who is wanted for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, carrying a firearm without a licence and unlawful possession of firearm, is the eighth Jamaican to have made the FBI's 'Most Wanted' list since January last year.
According to the FBI, Wright has a tattoo on his left arm and is known to abuse both drugs and alcohol. They said he has ties to both Brooklyn and Queens in New York. He is usually armed with a 9mm pistol.
He made the 'Most Wanted' list, following an alleged incident at a barber shop in Springfield, Massachusetts in February 1999. Reports are that a dispute developed between himself and a man in the barber shop. He pulled a gun and shot the man.
He is one of three Jamaicans on the FBI's 'Most Wanted' list. Eric Hopeton Brown, who is from Montego Bay, is right next to Muslim rebel leader Osama bin Laden, on the FBI's top 10 'Most Wanted' list.
The third Jamaican, Trevor Anderson, allegedly shot and killed his girlfriend on July 25, 1998 in Philadelphia, Pennsyl-vannia. The lawmen said five days before the murder, he shot the woman in her foot during a heated argument. He is also wanted for a murder that he allegedly committed at a nightclub in Canada on October 20, 1998.
Among other Jamaicans who have appeared on the FBI's list are a 43-year-old woman, Sharon Charmaine Anderson, a native of St. Mary and Dennis Jermaine Smith, 25, alias 'Capone' of Kingston.
