Dominican fined over $6K after fight with woman in BVI

Elijah Toulon has been ordered to pay just over $6,000 in fines and compensation in the British Virgin Islands Magistrate’s Court for criminal damage and wounding.

According to BVI News Online, Toulon and a woman, also from Dominica, were visiting the BVI when they got into a heated argument which eventually turned into a fight.

During the fight, Toulon injured the woman on her arm with a corkscrew.

Residents reported the fight through the police emergency line.

When he appeared in court, Toulon was fined $2,000 for wounding the woman or two months imprisonment if it is not paid.

He was also told to pay $3,000 in compensation to the woman or serve six months in prison.

He was also fined $1,000 for damaging a window during the fight and was ordered to pay the owner of the window $53.30.

In his defence, Toulon reportedly claimed that the stabbing was an accident.

    I hope the woman is longer having a relationship with him. He is so ignorant.

      Teeth and tongue having issues even bloody issues. So one good **x and a good reasoning and apology can make dat relationship grow stronger. Because no relationship is perfect. And who knows the woman could be the aggressor yea. But that doesn’t give him the right to use dat amount of force. But if he show Remus den things can work out well for them man. Just be cool bro and spend 5 seconds and think before u act bro. Be good bro.

      He is you know. We don’t catch the troubled ppl until it’s too late. I once heard him threaten the life of a female because she’d run away from him taking his child and money. I have also seen him in numerous altercation in sports. He needs help.
