He added it was only after he had filed a complaint against the lawman that he was charged.
Proscecution witness Island Constable, Ainsley Gill, told the Court that Best had stated that he was a millionaire before calling Constable Ashton a nigger.
The case will resumes on May 5, then Best's lawyer Queen's Counsel Ralph Thorne and police prosecutor Sergeant Junior Kirton will address Magistrate Douglas Frederick.
