Alickson John-Lewis, a Dominican national, has been deported to his country of birth.
John-Lewis appeared in the High Court before Justice Richard Floyd for sentencing on a charge of armed robbery. He was found guilty by a 12-member jury on February 9.
Floyd told John-Lewis that he would be removed from the country immediately or as soon as is practicable. Floyd said that nothing would be served to further incarcerate John-Lewis, who has spent 18 months in prison awaiting his trial.
He said taxpayers would be saved the burden of feeding the Dominican man for the next several years.
I AM SO SAD TO HEAR THAT.I TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS HOPE FOR HIM.HE WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE.I WILL BE PRAYING FOR HIM, AND HOW THAT I AM IN DOMINICA I WILL TRY MY BEST TO REACH HIM,WITH LOVE, AND LET HIM KNOW THAT HE IS LOVED BY THE FATHER AND BY ME HIS BROTHER
Hi, I hope the Dominica Police Department keep a file on this criminal and have him report to his local Precinct/Station once a week. They must also warn him that if he is caught committing any crime he will face a stiffer sentence because he is a career criminal.
well that is it for Dominica eh…poor us. Already our Police system seems ill equipedto deal with the present crimes issues…Look we getting more criminals.
Good bye DA. Happy to have known you
Hi, Do not give up we just have to place restriction on him. We should not allow such criminal to destroy our country so please have faith.
way Papa, more deportees to bring more drugs, crime and violence to our crime-ridden country… If only they were coming home to make a positive contribution to Dominica (but if they can’t survive out there, it is most likely they won’t survive in Dominica)… Please pray for Dominican young men everywhere!
well papa, All you Dominicans was waiting for that story to come out man? all of all you bathing like all you never bathe before. I hope all you basin strong and all you bathe real good so all you dont smell.
ALL CRIME IS CRIME.
Reading some of this comments especially those by persons who knew boxy saddens me. Everyone knows boxy was troublesome and had a history of fighting. However prior moving to Antigua he had no history of robbery or even allegation of robbery casted over him.
Thus , it’s evident that there exist some hope for change. I know boxhead personally( actually my first cousin ) and with the right company around he would not entertained such behavior.
One way that we could help that change is to stop stereotyping the youg man. If everyone seems to write him off , that might just cause him to giveup on life and continue the bad habbit.
I never thought that yak would stop parro, Doctrove would stop parro and even today almost complete his house( wall house to that) or even my mother in Law cube would stop parro. Those are just examples that there is hope and it still takes a community to build not just a child but a person.
Moreover, we need not single out boxyhead or any other persom ,when most of us in posie is guilty of haboring crime. Almost everyone in posie have a friend who either sells drugs , smuggle people, embezzle state/ community funds , evade taxes etc. Thats why i say all crime is crime but i guess when its committed by one from the lower class everyone speaks out.
i don’t leave in dominica but if i want to buy crack or cock i know exactly where to go and which block or house to go and all of us in posie including the police knows where. My question is what are we doing about that .
There are known individuals including politician with no inheritance , no business and their wealth has surpass their life time earning. What are we doing about that.( keeping our mouth shut)
Some of us on DNO got government shcolarship never return to work in Dominica and has failed to repay the state. what are we saying about about that.
We had borbol in gabbage bin, fertilizer etc and what happen.
Being bankrupt one year and next year apartments cominig down like when u get that perfect domino hand ( 7 pieces of six). posie people don’t speak on this topic in public .why!.
various groups and commitee soliciting funds on behalf of the commitee no reporting on how funds were spend , profits , never produce or publish any finacial statement. no AGM , No body voting for president , no one know who is treasurer and if so are that person competent enough to be trasurer, no secretary, nothing , etc ( no transparency , accountability).But recieves money and other ponsorship in kind from stakeholders on our behalf.
Every group/ team/ association whatever they call themselves in posie u ask what are they going to do with funds earned , the first thing come out their mouth is to give members loan if they have financial difficulties. Hmm! No one else smells a rat besided me.
The public has not yet been told how many passport were sold by the sate , how much the governmnet earned from these sales and what was done with the funds. i wonder why.
There are so much criminal and questionable activity around us but we pretend to be blind ,say nuttin unless if the person in question is off a similar social stratum like boxy.
I still mentains that all crime IS crime. Stealing with gun or without gun is the same thing.
Niocha and jael i see that you all haven’t given up on your brother boxy and that is very good.
Recommendation
we need to practice rehabilating individuals while they are being punish.
your comment to long man.stupes.you think DNO is for you alone?trust me with long comments like that only few read all your notes.be brief and to the point next time.
@ shyte
Did you not read what DNO posted? Allow him this liberty to write. He has as much right as you do. Furthermore DNO allowed it. People decide to write and I am certain that it is not their intention to make the writing long. It so happened. I can vouch for that. Dictator, it is not your business and place to criticize his writing or the length. If you do not want to read it, simply ignore it. Are you not a fellow Dominican? Then be loving, kind, broadminded and considerate. You need to learn these virtues.
but what he saying making sense. if it was stupidness he was saying, you would read it.
Hi, Your comment is ok but we must keep our eyes open in regards to this criminal. He went to Antigua and embarassed all Dominicans not he is coming home. In what way is this man going to contribute to the development of our country. He went away and did nothing for himself now our citizens have to worry about this guy.
Box-Head???
yes. and??????? wats your point.
NIOCA AND JAEL INSTEAD OF ATTACKING PPL WHO MAKE COMMENTS YOU ALL SHOULD THINK OF WAYS TO TRY TO ENCOURAGE YOUR BROTHER TO CHANGE . IS NOT THE FIRST TIME HE DOING THOSE THINGS CAUSE HE HAS BEEN ARRESTED MANY TIME IN D/CA AND HAS EVEN BEEN TO JAIL IN D/CA AS WELL. SO USE YOUR ANGER TO HELP HIM TO CHANGE AND NOT ENCOURAGE HIM IN HIS WRONG DOING HE CAN CHANGE BUT NEED TO BE TOLD THAT WAT HE IS DOING IS WRONG
EXCOP
Admin you actually publish this comment.Wow.
Please verify that boxy was convicted for robery in Dominica?
i am aware of fighting and a marijuana offence.And in antigua a charge for recieving stolen goods beore the latest incidence.
i am not trying to defend boxy but to say he have a track record for robery in dominica ( especially coming from an excop) is misleading or perhaps i am just not aware of this one .
good thing i didnt read your initial long halleluia story.
um, was it misleading?just checking
Shut your dam mouth boy!! aref just saying what you want about pple? get your facts straight. Stupid goat
boy wat is your problem? you have stress man? get your facts straight. once the boy went to prison here. your fool.
The Government should put those convicted criminal deportees on a watch-list to protect law abiding citizens in Dominica.
The Government need to be on a watchlist also too.
when all these bad eggs come back to Dominica what will happen is that they will carry on with the same behaviour they had in the foreign land. I hope he is treated as a criminal back home and he gets to report to the Police station every two days to give account of his whereabouts. It’s such a shame that a picture of him wasn’t published as people can change their name! Shame shame that we have an influx of these criminals in our country who are no doubt responsible for the substantial increase of crime that we are having.. We need to do away with these criminals! Put them to sleep so we can protect our country
AS HE REACH DOMINICA DEPORT TO HAITI.DOMINICA TOO SWEET FOR THESE CRIMINALS.LET HIM GO AND EAT FRY DIRT BAKES.Some people just donot know how to enjoy a peaceful quiet life.
It is not the first time a Dominican national is deported to Dominica. I visualize that when they return they will be angry and will try to flee.
Recall last year (?) one of them who was deported from Guadeloupe once he landed, he commenced running. I also heard that prior to that another one evaded the Police in a similar manner and was later found dead in the water.
What are the Dominica regulations when a deportee arrives? I hope that the Antigua Police will escort him to Dominica and when he lands hand him over to the DA Police who, in turn will take the necessary steps to document him, interrogate him and fingerprint him. The Police should also be given his DA address and inform him to report to the Police Station be it once a week. He really should be under surveillance.
Is there a government department which could assist them to assimilate in society after they return to DA? They should not be left to themselves. This is when they get into further trouble and create havoc on the island.
The Police department should have some expertise on how to handle them when they arrive. I hope something is done for this man and others who will be deported. They have gone astray and do need help that, hopefully they will become a model national. May God assist them.
where’s the fleching pic so i can recognise him. u showing me a pic of antigua high court. u not making anyvsence
is one set of pics they know
Ms. Elena, Why don’t you give DNO a picture of him so they could post it? When you read the article (assuming you did) was there a picture of him? SMH … YOU, my dear, make no sense!
when you have rats you put poison,police shut to kill.
I hope it won’t be you the police kill in stead of him .don’t watch him watch your self could be you first to go down .
Corporal Punishment…. We NEED CORPORAL PUNISHMENT ON This ISLAND!!!!
He is from possie glanvilla his nickname is box head he was a bad egg from school days cause i went to C.A.L.L.S with him i remember one day while going to the church he burst a bomb in the teacher leg.
I hope you are a good egg and your children children will be a good egg .and be careful for what you wish for .
we need to brand mister with a hot piece of iron..
when you ready come and do it if you feel you have the balls to do it .i hope you can handle what you looking for your punk .
thats boxhead from Glanvillia,Portsmouth coming home
box head? that’s is nickname? his head is boxed shaped?
what you shape like
Dude always had a bad limyeh/ bush!!! however the hell you spell it!
We need a new high court and a new prison bus…they both are too damn ugly…lets sentence and give them their last ride in style…like the one in Antigua.
mind you doh get your last ride in it before them stupid .
wish we could see a pic of this man.is guys like this comming home to cuz more problems for us.
Picture please!! He should be watching us, watching him.
It is so simple not rocket science. Any deportee for crimes committed and found guilty in another country who get deported. The police Immediately tag them when they enter Dominica as they do in the UK!! Take their photograph and finger prints and make them report to the Police station every two weeks that way the police know their movements and location. Please don’t tell me this is not already in place!!!!!!!!!!!!
nature girl, not everything that happens in the “UK” is proper, correct, or even legal under international law.
At what point does the condemned hear the words “time served.” You have paid the fine. Go on with your life^
Justice is blind, nature girl. It serves the victim and the accused. It does not discriminate.
@Peeping Tom
If “time served” equates to rehabilitation, then it’s all well and good. But you know quite well that this is not a valid equation. I believe society has the right to distrust the convicted pedophile, rapist, thief, etc when that person gets out of jail. The convict lost society’s trust currency with his actions. We can’t simply say “you’ve done your time, now welcome back”. Hell no!! That trust currency must be re-earned upon re-entry into society. Once bitten, twice shy! I say monitor, monitor, monitor until such time that society is satisfied with his rehabilitation.
Oh, Duncekyat, it is natural to “distrust.” However, what is largely suggested here is not to eye someone suspiciously but the institutionalized suppression of someone’s rights.
Once the condemned serves his time, he is legally free except, of course, if the court suggests certain conditionalities of his release; and, in such a case, “time” is not uet served. However, once the individual has completed his debt to society, the State cannot be asked to imprison the former convict for an unknown offence. This would be wrong.
what a shame the good Dominicans going to pay for all them crimes.
please he is not first nor the last.he can make a change in his life lets hope that would rise above his misstake and make a change that everyone could see.people do crime u all dont talk about them but who make one misstake u people run your mouth;back.when u have glass window dont throw stone.he will rise high so all u dominicans can see the good in him not the bad;crime was always there when he was not around.hater;s
HUMMMMMMM Homeboy i agree with u. Pa pa zoooor look more robberies in Dominica. Lord Help us!
When he comes through the customs…..they better put some tracking device on the ‘voler’. I have had enough crap!
Let’s hope that he stays out of trouble when he land.
The chief of police promise us in Dominica that he would not let those criminal come back home to tramatize the law abiding citizen of dominica,let’s hold him to his word.
Those criminals need to be met at the airport, finger printed, D.N.A. extracted, and constanly monitored.
@ Anonymous
It is a grave problem. If they are deported to Dominica, where else can they go? They must return to DA. Last year I had stated that the government should establish a department to assist them and rehabilitate them. They may be bad people but they may not be beyond rehabilitation. You know, bad company corrupts. I have high hopes. The government should at least try to help them and not leave them to fend for themselves in mainstream DA and to do their own thing. They are liable to get into trouble.
I agree.
If he can do that in the Foreign is Da his home land he will have mercy for.Boy mister is just another on the list of criminals.Just wait. Not too long all you will hear about him.
Is that So!
He went to Antigua to hopefully do better and he got into bad company.
Our problem is that we must pray and some of us more for those people, worship, prayer, penance, sacrifice and observation of God’s Laws and the teachings of The Church.
People of the world become worst because others fail to do nothing or very little and even to pray for them. Obviously these criminals do not as much as pray for themselves. They are too young to be criminals. Sadly, every country has them. Dominica and the Caribbean for that matter are not alone. I surely wished that there would be no criminals in the world for they are a menace to society.
You can bring a horse to the river but you can’t force him to drink water.
Why is bad company he choose?
ONE MORE IN JAIL IN ANGUILLIA TO BE DEPORTED THIS WEEK HE FROM TRAFALGAR KENDAL LESTRAD
lord heip us in little Dominica.
YES BOX HEAD BACK TO PORTSMOUTH TO TERROTIZE THE STUDENTS AND THE TOURIST WELL POOR D/CA HOPE THE POLICE WATCH YOUR EVERY MOVE

you ever see or hear boxhead terrorize students? why all you doh go and get all you — up and go and look for those pple that terrorizing those students. all you will get all you share tomorrow.
After the robbery at the Marigot Cooperative Credit Union, my question was; Can anyone tell the nation how many deportees have we received over the past two years.
These guys do not change their lifestyles easily you know. So the crime situation will only get worse, or God forbids ‘out of control.
@ him
This would be a good idea. I doubt that if the Police know, this will be relayed to the public. I do hope that they keep a record of the amount and try to help those deportees.
One arm robber shot and another to replace him already. but where they getting that training from nuh?
They were trained in AFGANISTAN. These guys are rotten eggs bad golomin shame on u all. Go work the land to build the country instead of these nonsense u all lost in bad behaviour and yr brother is trying to cover u dam good for notthing go ask forgiveness for the wrong u did to yr lovely country.
Where is his picture for all to see
Sac qway ton neh!Dominican do this!Dominica do that!Now he get deported back to DA,and another Voleh again. What’s wrong with those bandits there,you gone to another country better yourself,find something constructive to do with your life & time.You going on robbing & stealing forming de royal.STUPESSSSSSSSSS
One more Idiotic Escamotur coming home to our shores after shaming us profoundly. Oh when will it end?
sorry to hear but i think the best place for him is home,hope he will turn around and find something positive to do back home,some people just wants thing to easy they don’t want to lift their hands to work young and have there whole life ahead of them.
Another criminal coming home to take crime to the next level. God help us!
the pit that you dig with the bracelet mine you do fall in it .he would not be the first and he will not be the last .
The pit that he dug for himself requires him to wear a bracelet. You all Dominicans too hypocrite. There is definitely a spike in heinous crimes against both tourists and locals alike! when something happens you all come on DNO and complain but don’t suggest ways to rid the country of the problem.
I say, all Deportees especially those that have committed aggravated assault and roberies be monitored with these monitoring devices. We wait until they do a crime to want to put things in place!!
AMEN @Anonymous,u are so right although his brother is wrong he want to cover the bobo but he should cover it from the beggining not at the end cuz the bobo stinks bad. I tell u all the day u make a mistake and rub my sweat I will deal u all no law wont prevent me zor tot voleur.
why don’t you close tat gap in your face? huh????
Well the pit he dug for himself by misbehaving in another man’s country is his and his alone. You are a hypocrite. When these individuals return after having commmitted their aggravated acts of robbery, burglary and attempted murder they should be monitored. We wait until they do something to talk about the solution. Most of these guys don’t want rehabilitation, because they embelish the “easy money”. So monitor him and if you vex then that is you, you are entitled to yoour feelings. Just don’t complain when he engages is his normaol modus operandi!!!!
Home boy, Will you please do all of us a favour and go to sleep? your judgemental attitude isn’t helping any of us one bit. you will know what he will want and not want. and you will tell us what we should do and nt do.
@]Anonymous, the gap will close when he will gap yr face know yr place dam rude and out of other. YOU support voleur but the thief will stin u pretty soon just wait cuz voleur en got mercy.
Oh and Jael, if i have committed a crime that warrants ankle monitoring then monitor me for the better of society. I am not immune from this..
who cares about you punk? you can go jump off a cliff for all i care.
Positive word Teddy. At the same time its very disappointing that a life changing opportunity given was wasted away in such manner. Its goes to show changes cannot be forced upon a man who does not within himself have no desire to change. Some of us was meant to stay at home. There is still sufficient time for this young man turn himself into a respectful and productive Dominican citizen. I truly wish him all the best.
put dem down
Another criminal coming home….but ready for a suprise,because the law is ready for people like you.Just turn your life around and be a better person,or else you will heading down the path of death.
Way papa>> one more in Dca..SMH!!!
Welcome home my son…..if you could not make it in Antigua good luck trying to make it here.
Hope the authority take his finger print and store it in some data system
Oh Lord we have so many on them on the island and more deportee are coming
Lord Heal Our Beloved Nation, Lord Our Nation and It’s people Need Your Help, and Protecting from these Low Life tugs More, We Need Your Intervention Lord, Please Lord Help Us
