Sanford carried by supporters after his release<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Former Deputy Leader of the United Workers Party (UWP) was released on Wednesday afternoon after he was charged with obstruction.<\/p>\n

He was taken into custody on Wednesday morning as the police investigate disturbances and violence in Roseau on the night of February 7.<\/p>\n

He is expected to appear in court in April for trial.<\/p>\n

He is the second high-profile member of the UWP to be questioned by the police in the matter.<\/p>\n

Thomson Fontaine was arrested last Sunday but released without charge.<\/p>\n
