Real estate developer Rodney Smith is set to sue the Governor, Police Commissioner and a Police inspector, charging that they discriminated against him.

Mr. Smith, a former Progressive Labour Party candidate in Pembroke West, quit last September after a row erupted over the alleged illegal eviction of his tenant, Sharon Williams, at Spring Hill, Warwick.

Mrs. Williams had claimed that Mr. Smith threw her out of her home without a court order and had removed her belongings, leaving them out in the rain. She had also reported that Mr. Smith had physically pushed her away.

Mr. Smith yesterday filed a writ with the Supreme Court, against the Governor, Thorold Masefield, Police Commissioner Jean Jaques Lemay and Police Insp.

Roseanda Jones.

Speaking with The Royal Gazette last night, Mr. Smith said the writ is in response to assault charges filed against him and revealed that he was served with a court summons last week, Tuesday.

"They have denied me due process,'' he contended.

Mr. Smith explained that the same Police officer interviewed both he and Mrs.

Williams and that the inspector reviewing the file "decided to push Mrs.

Williams' claim''.

"I believe that I have as much right to file as she does, but they will not allow me,'' he said, "and that is discriminating against me.'' Mr. Smith noted that he is suing the Governor "because he is in charge of the Police'', Commissioner Lemay "because he is the head of the Police'' and Roseanda Jones because "she was the inspector who reviewed the file and made the choice to push Ms. Williams' claim through Police prosecutions''.
