The police say an eyewitness statement implicating Reuben was recorded on May 20 and a warrant was prepared and issued for his arrest.
On Wednesday, June 1, Reuben attended the Savanna-la-mar Police Station along with his attorney and was thereafter charged for the offences.
His court date is being finalised.
