Long Bush youth assaults & threatens to shoot father
Casey pleaded guilty to common assault and threatening language following a disagreement the two had in Long Bush on February 15, 2013.
According to the allegations read by Crown Counsel Leslie Ann Faulkner, Casey’s father, the Virtual Complainant (VC) was at a beauty salon in Lower Estate with his wife when the defendant arrived and informed his father that he had the keys to the car and no one could take them from him.
His father warned him that he does not have a driver’s licence and repeatedly asked him to hand over the keys but the defendant refused and got into the car and drove off. His father then contacted the police.
The police responded and met the defendant in Long Bush next to the vehicle where he was spoken to in the presence of the father and issued a warning after admitting to the offence.
When the police left, the defendant went to the father and told him he was ‘soft’ and that he was going to ‘mash up the same car’.
He also threatened to shoot the father but the father walked away and was followed by the defendant.
While at a nearby park in the area, the defendant swung an iron gate and struck his father on the leg and continued cursing the father and saying he would shoot him.
The father called the police again and they responded. When confronted the defendant said, “I ain’t touch nobody, I cool man I cool.” He was later charged with the offences.
He will return to court on February 21, 2014 for sentencing in the matter.

- teachers: who are foul mouthed outside classroom, dress like hoochy mamas,lead immoral lives
- youth leaders: who are not role models in their every day lives
- children: who are not in school during school hours and who are on the street all hours by themselves
- leaders: who set bad examples
- immigrants: who cannot prove good character before migrating to BVI
- behavior and language which should not be acceptable in places frequented by youth
And for who fall through the cracks BVI need a juvenile detention center and less attractive incarceration facilities and judicial penalties.
