Cryptic Stuff

While it was done some years ago I see, I thought I would try a cryptic crossword-like thread for fun and to try and boost a little more interest here. I made up the below question for anyone interested in such a challenge. I thought the first person to get it correct might come up with the next question. A clue though - if you copy one from a newspaper or magazine etc., the answer can often be found on the internet. I can explain the answer for anyone who asks. ๐Ÿ™‚

 

The prisoner at the cave would not stand for the electrically charged droplets of water.

Yes.

 

โ€œPlayer picks outlaw headโ€ โ€“ justice officer (5)

 

The wordplay:

outlaw [charade -> ban]
head [select initial letters] justice officer -> J.O.

=> ban+JO
WHOLE DEFINITION

player picks = banjo

 

Youโ€™re up, nfs.
