Cheznelle Robinson of Roseau was slapped with a charge of deception when she appeared before Chief Magistrate Candia Carrette- George at a Roseau Magistrate’s Court on Thursday.
According to information revealed in court, Robinson dishonestly obtained $1,000 from the Healthy Wellness Living Centre with the intention of permanently depriving the Healthy Wellness Living Center of that amount.
Court documents also indicated that the incident occurred on February 11, 2015.
,She was not required to plea since the charge is an indictable one.
Robinson was bailed in the sum of $5,000 with her mother Margaret Sorhaindo as surety.
She is being represented by Attorney-at-Law Wayne Norde.
Robinson is expected to return to court on July 31, 2015.
I have to say this is a very shameful thing DNO has just done. This woman is a private citizen. Also, she has not been found guilty. It seems to me they published this article out of spite because Cheznelle is very popular and they wished to damage her reputation. It is quite reprehensible and I hope she sues. Dominica is becoming a place where a national news outlet will take someone’s personal issues and turn it into a news story. It is disgusting. I don’t know her personally but if you can do this to one u can do this to all and this needs to stop. So many more important issues to be discussed and aren’t being covered. According to Asa IS ME YOU DOE FRAID. Do some real journalism for a change and stop using ppl children mistakes for those advertising dollars. This is just lazy work. Y’all can do better
To the one named “Tony” who keeps defending the young lady in his posts. I hope you are being paid for your representation my dear. If so, it would probably serve you better to save your effort for the courtroom instead of taking precious time scanning through comments on a local news website. If, however, you are not legally representing the young lady, how do you know the facts of the case? The voracity with which you are disputing the allegations would suggest that you are somewhat informed. If you are not “in the know”, it may serve you better to remain silent rather than take it upon yourself to defend a situation that may or may not involve multiple infractions of the law. ;-)
Its obvious the article doesn’t tell the full story or circumstances under which the event occurred. Clearly this was not theft because its not an indictable charge.
Also the article does not state that the person was convicted of a crime but that they were charged with an offense… which is why there is a court date to settle the matter between the accused and the business in question.
DNO should not be reporting such things because the young woman has not been convicted or found guilty. They are in fact based on how the article is written accusing and convicting and unlawfully posting pictures of the person before they are convicted of a crime. This is grounds for a lawsuit because she was not arrested and is not guilty.
Chez! Elas I feel your pain in DA….There is no room for mistakes in DA…That society feeds on beth, it stinks
And for a piece of mind, after court…Take the first LIAT flight out, leave the vampires behind.
Sometimes karma is a bish. Too many times when we see others fall we laugh… do not deceive people out of their hard earned assets Papa zor! ! Be satisfied! Pray. And parents stop sootiweh your children! This is sad. …
As a Police Officer of the United States , she is lucky that she is not in the law of the United States. for the young adults in Dominica it is all about material products and not something educational. Do not put any politics in this because this young girl had a mind of her own.
Our society appears to have become ever more shallow over the last decade or so where instant gratification is king and morals are for wimps. A society that knows the price of everything but the value of nothing and laughs at ethics.. I don’t want to sound like a religious zealot because that has its own dangers but we should take more time to reflect on the real values of life because materialism alone can never bring lasting satisfaction.
The moral of the story is simple..If you cannot afford it forget about it.. Marlie Boo is the same thing. These young girls have no real value. Material things are temporary. Seek things that are more meaningful to life. There are many more young girls out there doing the same thing. It is just a matter of time.
what about innocent until proven guilty? It is in the Dominica constitution. read it.
yes i rasta plenty of all u that commenting there doing worst things than the girl,is just that all u turn doe come yet.when your neighbour house on fire take water and wet yours
Hello and good afternoon my people. Well I don’t know this young lady and I have never heard of the Healthy Wellness Living Center but I can assume that its a business. I am concerned about the charges lodge against this young lady and how our Criminal Justice System works. Now did she write a Cheque and she didn’t have the funds to cover the Cheque or is she an employee and she falsefiy her time sheet . According to the article the offense is an Indictable offense therefore she didn’t have to enter a plea but if she appear in Court where she was arraigned . She should have to enter a plea of Not Guilty or Guilty and if she enter a not guilty plea then the prosecutor have to go to the Jury to seek an Indictment or True Bill. How can a defendant be arraigned and not have to enter a plea but then release on Bail. I think this case is damaging this young lady reputation and its not going anywhere because it will be dismiss.
Materialistic pleasures are only for a short time. Ruining your character will forever have a negative impact on your life. What about jobs, your parents, your future, most importantly yourself? Is it worth it? Everyone posting here might not be for you but sometimes you should really take advice and criticism to build yourself and be the best YOU, not for people but for yourself.
SALUT SALUT What will be ur next level….I’m waiting
The Bitdrop event and Bitcoin would have helped so many people like this poor women, no need to steal they were going to give Bitcoins and education away for free
I am not supporting what the young lady did..It was dead wrong, but Dominicans, you guys are too quick to rejoice over someone’s downfall…The fact that to see someone down is exciting to yall is disgusting .. Then the Pm will be blamed for everything that happens in the country but what you fail to realize is that we are the ones dragging the country down because we are too busy wishing to see our neighbor fall …
A picture tells a thousand words, it is all about “bling” whatever the cost, including the cost of losing a good reputation and jail.

Hello and good afternoon my people. First I must say that am not on Facebook and I will never go on Facebook. Now the article clearly say the photo is from her public profile on Facebook therefore she must have been at some function where she took the photo. She didn’t appear in Court displaying her I Phone 5 and her designer jewelry so it has nothing to do with the allegation/Charges against her.
THE COUNTRY NICE BOY!
A certain talk show will be one caller less while certain people get over their shame. Moral of the story: Be careful what you say about and to people..What goes around comes around and who live in glass house dont throw stones. Let this be a lesson to all. Rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn.
I suspect dno filtering those comments for that article very heavily… 2 of my comments so far not published..will this one make it?
What phone is that? iphone 6? Doent look like a 5 or 4 to me but i could be wrong
You lying too damn much it’s the iphone 5.
I think you missed the part where i said “I could be wrong”
this is an IPhone6 not 5 or 5s or 4 or 4 s
It’s an iPhone 5s
leave the damn woman alone always there some DNO bloggers to revel in people failure a bunch of low self esteem bas….s using the destruction of others image to prop your self-righteous selves up go and find positive meaningful things to do like help the elderly or the sick and shut in or better yet go to church and set things right and help build each other up rather than cheer when they fail…
Is that you Cheznelle?
hahaha inside joke inside joke
It is just amazing how you guys want to come on here and tell bloggers how to comment. You call bloggers self-righteous and give advice on what to do instead of as you say ‘cheer when people fail’ but where is your advice to the young lady to clean up her act and learn from her latest mistake. Your comment is no different from bloggers commenting on the issue at hand. Point is she did wrong so stop trying to turn a blind eye to the issue at hand. Oh by the way if she is someone you know I hope that you tried helping to build her up before this latest. SMH
To Words.
Hello and good afternoon my people. I agree withe the first part of your post but I disagree with the second part in which you said she did wrong. It’s an allegation that said she dishonestly obtained a thousand dollars which mean she allegedly committed fraud. Fraud is a difficult charge to prove a specially against someone who don’t have any pass criminal history. I don’t know the young lady but we must be fair and keep an open mind because it’s only an allegation by the Complainant to the Police.
In one word “crap”!
I don’t think anybody is cheering…however when you have a certain air about you in society and your name ends up in a scandal it is very hard for persons to not take notice and talk about it… Everybody is reacting as normal as possible to this situation… (it’s just like if someone is playing holy and saint like and then you find out their sexual or whatever people will start to say for how he/she was christian I never thought they’d have sex) its time to call a thing a thing and stop sugar coating stuff!
Never hang your hat where you hands can’t reach. To thankful with what the almighty bless you with. Please young people live within your means, if you don’t you will get yourself in trouble see with your hands and touch with your eyes.
Huummm……
That’s why we shouldn’t be jeolous of other what other people have.
Cause we Never know what they did to earn it..
Never expected that from a pretty girl like u BUT hey looks can be deceiving..
Hmm! You can take a poubelle out of labas but you cannot take the labas out of the poubelle!
*died*…that’s a new one.
#dead…..
thats a latest slang man? lol
Every body deserves a next chance i will pray for u
Next chance again? Ebey how many next chance that one girl going to get?
So wait a while…mugshot is for one set nuh?…I am sure DNO could have gotten a mugshot like they did for many other people…so where is hers?….why is a facebook pic i seeing there?…
What has happened to my beautiful country and its beautiful people??? This damn Labour regime has corrupted everything and everybody. Bling, bling, bling is all they want and to achieve this they sell their soul to the devil. Not an ounce of character left!
Stupes! So Skerrit that cause her to do that? Stop being stupid and putting politics in everything.
smh.. ok worker? u dont like bling i guess? smh.. Dominicans always there to mix politics in choices people make on their own.. get out
labour regime hasnt corrupted anything these girls live in the facebook and instagram selfie era all they want out of life is noticing living above their means
Dear DNO:
I would like to report a bug report…I can only give this person one upvote….i owe them 99 more
Wow. So what you’re saying is that your honesty or lack thereof depends on which party that’s in power??. smdh…bitter much?
I didn’t know a party decides whether you deceive others or not?!?! Educate me….. train up a child in the way that he should grow so when he gets old he will not depart from it!!! But then again we teach our children to the best of our ability and they still make dumb decisions. It’s a good thing my mother taught me to be satisfied with what I have. But still…. encourage her and if she has true friends, stand by her and support her. pray for the youth of dominica especially the young ladies pray for our country and STOP PUTTING POLITICS IN EVER THING!!!!! GO BACK TO THE PRAYING COUNTRY THAT WE ONCE WERE. WE ARE LETTING POLITICS AND GREED CLOUD OUR MINDS.
This is such a sad scenario….I’m sure that she is now realizing that $1000 is definitely not worth the embarrassment that’s going to follow her for quite some time. I’m just hoping that her “friends” will give her support and not enjoy the public ridicule that is going to follow.
The article doesn’t state anything in regards to the evidence nor the defense. The case has barely started but she’s been condemned already by the court of public opinion. How quick we are to think the worst of our own sisters and brothers.
There is a lot of this deception thing going around. it is actually called fraud. People take your money and don’t give you the service or product.
You must learn to satisfy with what you have, the more you see the more you want. If that’s the way you going to make yourself look nice and highty tighty you will not go far. Not all the latest brand you must have or make people think you can afford. SATISFY AND YOU SHALL BE CALLED A CHILD OF GOD!!!!
You must learn to satisfy with what you have you too greedy the more you see the more you want. And if that way you going you will always get yourself in problems. Its all the latest brand that come out you must have. SATISFY AND YOU SHALL BE CALLED A CHILD OF GOD!!!!!!.
correction she’s already in problems.
To Satisfy/ParoinRoseau.
Ok so you using to names to Post on DNO. Thanks.
What does it profit a man to gain the world but loses his soul??????????
A message to all the young girls and boys… Don’t idolize people. You don’t know what they do behind closed doors to get what they have. Stay in school…obey your parents, work hard and always try to do what’s right. Don’t let friends or anybody influence you.
That’s not the #boss #belle chick na? Hmm I see….
Iphone swinging in the hand…….
Well look it,February 11th Carnival Money
