WHAT THE HELL…? …ASSAULTING AND ROBBING TOURIST…? …CHARGED WITH LARCENY…? …WHAT DID ‘…BOLD FACE SAY…?’
INTERESTINGLY:
STRATCOM says: ‘…John Richardson who was arrested for:
(a) ‘…ASSALUTING: and
(b) ….ROBBING A TOURIST’ has been ‘Remanded to Prison’ [Paragraph 2].
NOW:
STRATCOM SAYS:
‘The 56-year-old Perry Bay resident has been charged with:
(i) ‘…LARCENY (Stealing):
(ii) Malicious Damage (assumingly the snatched jewelry/Uniform of Female officer):
and
(iii) …Battery on Police’ [Paragraph 3].
MOST MISLEADING
Is this: ‘…He was remanded to Prison until ‘…MARCH 25, 2025’ [Paragraph 4].
BENEFIT OF KNOWLEDGE:
Magistrates may only exercise ‘…LEGISLATIVE REMAND AUTHORITY’ for no more than ‘…7-DAYS.’
This might be confirmed by any:
(a) ‘…POLICE COURT PROSECUTOR:
(b) …ANY MAGISTRATE: or
(c) …ANY PRISON OFFICER.’
WHAT DID BOLD FACE SAY…?

It is so my cousin boldface say
Only if they change the courts procedures and for those of us who’s paying attention, that appears to be nothing but a dream
After a hard day’s work..no rest for the weary..
It’s a damning incitement to the government when citizens have to stoop to robbing tourists to survive!
Antiguans are paying taxes, yet get no benefits from their taxes like in the US, or even the welfare system in the UK, where the government pays housing and provides money to live on.
This gentleman may be a career criminal as there are many, but more and more we are seeing people just giving in to the hardships and trying to make money for themselves the wrong way. We are even seeing our decent girls turning to prostitution to survive!
Gaston, wake up and help your people! Use some of the CBI money to help the citizens get back on their feet after losing a job, or during an illness.
They wouldn’t stop

@Soil Lady, Wow, you are so right because I guess in the US they don’t rob tourist, perhaps they don’t rob at all. Also in the US, they don’t have homeless people becuase the government there helps every to live while they out of a job.
Where is the US are you living? I remember in Florida they had to stop marking Rental Cars becuase they were the main target for robberies – people suitcases were even stolen from the vehicles. I was not even aware of the true nature of homelessness until I visited New York – the BIG APPLE.
Wait, is Emirates he flew to 1735?
