Officer Jason Modeste testified that the defendants swore at him and one slapped his neck.
The Americans were visiting the eastern Caribbean island on a cruise ship stopover Sept. 4 when they refused to pay a cab fare they thought was unfair. A fight broke out after the driver took them to a police station."
