DAILY OBSERVER: “Me mussa min have in me rum,” a man told the court yesterday as he explained why he destroyed a man’s car last week.
On the afternoon of June 7, Daniel Joseph was caught on camera as he struck a Honda Civic parked on South Street, St John’s.
At around 2.30pm, the owner of the vehicle parked his car, locked it and went to work. About an hour later he was notified that someone had done serious damage to the car.
He rushed to the location and found that both windshields and both windows on the right had been shattered. Air had also been released from both tyres on the left side of the vehicle.
He reported the matter to the police who were able to identify the perpetrator though footage from a nearby residence.
Officers searched for the defendant and found him on Popeshead Street.
He was arrested, charged and brought to court yesterday where he admitted to causing $3,200 worth of damage to the complainant’s vehicle.
When Chief Magistrate Joanne Walsh asked the defendant the reason for vandalising the car, he said, “He and six more man jump me. Me mussa min have in me rum and the incident mussa come back in my mind.”
Meanwhile, in a separate case, Charles Livingstone was jailed for nine months for damaging a window and a door at his mother’s home.
The incident occurred at around 3am on June 9 in Potters Village.
Livingstone’s mother contacted the police and informed them that her son came to the house waving a cutlass and damaged a window and door before heading to an abandoned house where he began making noise.
The defendant, a repeat offender, was sent to prison.

I mean I don’t know how the story really go and who were the initial instigators, but if a group of men jump me and I was innocent, I would do the same. Even if the guy said something to them, speech is free and no one should jump you for that. But every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Now he has to stand the consequences
1st thing 1st, the owner had nothing to do with he being rushed, 2nd, he is already in court with the guys tht beat him
Me say seee ebrey day Daniel lef country pond or crack gates and see the man and dem ah chill or playing dominoes and he under his drugs or whatever going on in his messed up head and decide he gonna provoke them and most times threaten them while holding knife etc…One day they had enough of him and a few of them excluding the car owner gave him the beating of his life which left him with a broken arm and injuries to his face…He wait all them time to now decide he gonna take his revenge out on a Honda Civic….A HONDA CIVIC!! He claim he go shot this and shot that but he so punky he gave Police all the information and exclude all the time he provoke and sent threats leading up to his ass whooping..
At the start of the video his face wasn’t covered. Right before smashing the windows he came out of the view of the camera and returned using his shirt as a mask.
Would a drunk person whose line of thinking is severely impaired take such a calculated precaution?
Same thing Jamie Foxx said…”blame it on the alcohol”
