    Yeah, a former resident of Grange in Portsmouth, knows him quite well. So sorry to hear that feel bad for the lady involved she did not seem to be involved in illicit drugs, She as a good Government Job and works in the Health Sector, I am a bit surprised. We will see where this case leads, caught red handed on the road so I guess he has a lot of explaining to do. This will teach him a lesson, I hope he learns from his mistakes. Good luck, not happy at all when this sort of things happen but I am going to keep an open mind until the facts have been presented in a court of law.

    Well Antigua and Dominica might be two of the most currupt islands in the Caribbean, so I am not surprised a Dominican man and Antiguan woman we’re involved in that massive drug bust. I’m quite sure Skerrit and Mr. Brown are the closest Caribbean friends as Tony is in the center of both of their secrets. In fact after Maria it was Antigua Skerrit ran to shed his crocodile tears so the world coud say he cried, according to him PM Brown was the first PM that called him after Maria, it was PM Brown that told his parliament that Dominica was making over US six hundred million dollars, a month, on sale of passports and yes, it was Antigua that reported that Dominicans threatened to behead Skerrit after Maria, which by the way this disclosure was confirmed by Tony, who said he heard of the threat, though no one had telephone service a day after Maria. So a lot of exchanges between the two islands both in terms of leadership and drug deal amongst locals of the two islands.
