Why was he allowed to be out on the farm if he is not one of the ” well behaved” ones? And a way he get gun from so quick? What an idiot! He must have a death wish or hoping to end up in a bodybag on a boat back to Dominica.
My thoughts exactly. Getting on the farm may have been part of the escape. Good to know no one was injured though
Maybe he was providing security…
Lol ppl alot of you dem stupid slience mother is a teacher staying Cassada Garden, if you all know that man is a big Rapist u all won’t believe. I definitely got facts please got a head n keep hiding him them fool what kinda of citizens violate woman n I see you that know him think is a game but wait u will hear what happen, if they can’t stop d cemetery will talk, trust me.
Bring out the armed forces. Bring out the dogs. This idiot is going down.
Just appealing to those that maybe assisting him , if you care a bit about him accompany him to the nearest police station. This guy only had 4 more years and could have gotten out on good behavior even earlier. So now he backed himself against the wall and dig himself into at least another 10 years. This means if he could not wait it out for four more , how could he with the added years if got caught. So I guess he is now on death wishes.
