Perry Bay Man Arrested For Robbing Tourist

1. High daytime?? What is this place coming to?
   Robbery and assault on a police officer. You should be done for.

2. Must be drugs he want buy. Sin will lead you to do anything at all.

3. I commend this female officer. I immediately want her information to see what I can do for her. Thank you for this service. I want to apologize to the tourist who is a victim of robbery (the application of force to get the necklace from around the neck of the visitor). Of US citizen, my crime victim advocacy would have been able to provide this victim with advocacy/representation to seek crime victim funds that can pay for counseling, medical care to his/her neck, transportation to police, transportation to fly back to Antigua to testify/cooperate in any legal matters pertaining to this, housing here to cooperate, loss of income from work would be repaid by the fund etcetera.

   This matter would have been investigated by my office and then represent/advocate for this client before the US state he is from crime victim funds board/program/agency/administration.

   This matter should be investigated as a larceny (theft of personal property), robbery (use of force to take personal property), aggravated assault/battery (strangulation by pulling the necklace), strangulation (using something to prevent a person from breathing) and mayhem. They are all qualifying crimes for the funds, except for larceny.

   I am sorry my endeavor was not supported by ABLP, AG, PM Browne and MP Chet Greene as this would have been a vital tools used to help this tourist-victim deal with the horrific traumatic experience from this vicious crime that occurred in Antigua and Barbuda in broad day light, in public. This shows how important my endeavor is to Antigua and Barbuda’s tourism industry.

   The victims counseling can begin now while in Antigua and would be paid to that local counselor, billing at US rates.

4. What!!?? Stole from TOURIST!! The country’s main economy!?!? Assault the Royal uniform of our former slave masters?!?!?! Well buddy time to go to big yard where visitors will be safe and u will eat off of tax payers cyash…..

5. Oh yes thank you for your dedicated service and bravery female officer. Hoping she did not suffer any major injuries and wishing her a speedy recovery…Job Well Done

6. He should get maximum sentence for each charge.

7. A National commendation should be the thinking of the powers that be big uo to the Antigua and Barbuda Police Force your curriculum is working in the face of adversity and danger she took on the robbery who could have hurt her severely she risked her life on duty to secure and subdue a robber and a National honor is so deserving these are the quality of Officers that gives us hope that we are safe on the streets and in our beds at night we’ll done lady officer well done Antigua and Barbuda is proud of you.

8. It’s all apart of the job. Male or female this is the understanding and a big part of what they are trained for.
   Male and female in the army, are we expecting less because of the gender? All I have to say is great job officer and continue to carry out your duties of serving and protecting. It’s a dangerous job.

9. AT WORK: …POWERS OF OBSERVATION: …AGILITY: …HIGHLY COMMENDABLE

   That which appeared to have been ‘…AT WORK,’ were:

   (i) ‘…Good ‘…Powers of Observation: and

   (ii) …A fitness that speaks to ‘…AGILITY.’

   This is ‘…HIGHLY COMMENDABLE’ of this female officer.

   COMMENDABLE CERTIFICATE

   There shall be no reason for ‘…Commissioner of Police, Atlee Rodney QPM’ not to immediately recognize her with a deservingly and ‘…COMEMDABLE CERTIFICATE.’

   A copy of which shall be promptly placed on her ‘…PERSONNEL FILE.’

   The ‘…LOWLY RANKED,’ shall lead them.

10. KNEE-TO NECK OF SNATCH AND RUN THIEF…? …MURDERERS OF GEORGE FLOYD’S

    The ‘…Police Murderers of victim…GEORGE FLOYD’ had reportedly killed him with a maneuvered ‘…KNEE TO HIS NECK RESTRAINT’ [CNN: MAY 19, 2020].

    NO FATAL CONSEQUENCES

    Incidentally, although ‘…NO FATAL CONSEQUENCES’ resulted, from this photo, it appears that the restraining male Police officer,’ had placed his ‘…RIGHT KNEE TO THE KNECK OF THE ‘…SNATCH AND RUN THIEF.’

    This ‘…METHOD OF RESTRAINT,’ provides no ‘…LEGAL JUSTIFICATION.’;

    Thus, it shall be discouraged.

    OFFENCES: ROBBERY OR LARCENY

    For the benefit of knowledge for both:

    (i) ‘…POLICE OFFICERS: and

    (ii) …GENERAL PUBLIC.’

    OFFENCE OF LARCENY

    Given that which was reported in this news portal, that the defendant merely ‘…Snatched the jewelry from the man’s neck and ran’ [Paragraph 2], constituted only the simple offence of ‘…LARCENY.’

    FEAR-FORCE-VIOLENCE

    Clearly, the visitor was ‘…NEVER PUT IN FEAR,’ nor ‘…THREATENED WITH USE OF FORCE OR ANY FORM OF VIOLENCE’ to his person.

14. @Pompey, Robbery is the application of force/fear to take the personal property of another with the intent to permanently deprive.

    Here, which have been successfully argued in many cases law, pulling a necklace from around the neck of a person may have resulted in a resistance (not only from the person but from the necklace to pop from the neck) thus causing the perpetrator to apply more force than is needed to merely take, this extra force has successfully been argued to turn such action from larceny to robbery.

    All prudent attorneys/police will attach the charge of robbery in matters like this, and prove or attempt to prove their case. It is reasonable to conclude based on the thickness of the necklace, any marks on the neck, and the apprehension the victim was in prior or during the snatching no matter how short such period was. That is why it is vitally important to interview such witness when advocating for my clients for US State Crime Victim funds or US immigration crime victim benefits. The police/prosecutor may not have charged correctly or completely.

    Larceny would not allow the victims to get any sort of benefits (immigration or crime victim funds), while a robbery would (if mentioned by the police or the facts witness statements are presented and supported to be more than a larceny).

    @Pompey, I want to respectfully thank you for this topic to show why advocates must perform their own investigation in which will put us at high risk of harm and why our firearms are vitally important to have. If you just sit there and present a police report in US immigration proceedings for crime/abuse victim visa and greencard you are probably committing legal malpractice. You must investigate yourself and present your own evidence for your client too.

    There is no way on earth is could charge this person with only a larceny. He had the knowledge that pulling the necklace could result in injuries, as it may not burst with a simple pull, it may require a whiplash to burst. That is an application of force, with the requisite intent.

    My charges for him would and must include larceny, robbery, assault/battery and maybe Mayhem (I must see the neck and size/thickness of necklace).
