Two St Lucians and a Dominican were denied bail after pleading not guilty to charges of possession of cannabis, possession with intent to supply and conspiracy to import cannabis into the Commonwealth of Dominica.
Shawn Earl Willie and Sheldon Joseph of St Lucia, and Allick Francis Simon of Cottage were caught importing 681,908 grams of marijuana on 25th June, 2012 at Toucarrie.
Simon’s attorney William Riviere made an application to the court for bail of his client.
However the prosecution objected, stating that the matter is still being investigated and other charges may be added.
In addition, police inspector Michael Laudat told the court that Simon might be a flight risk.
“He left the island unlawfully and came in back door,” Laudat said while emphasizing the seriousness of the matter.
Lawyer Kondwani Williams represents the other two defendants in this matter.
As part of the Toucarie operation one open keel speedboat was seized by police five nautical miles west of Canefield.
In another drug-related case, Kenny St John of Castle Comfort was fined $2000 for possession of cannabis with intent to supply 611 grams of cannabis.
St John appeared before Magistrate Ossie Lewis along with his girlfriend Staphanie Emmanuel and Marcel Williams who were also charged with the same offence.
Emmanuel and Williams pleaded not guilty to the charge of possession of cannabis and possession with intent to supply cannabis to another.
Emmanuel, who claims to be a mother of two children under the age of three in Guadeloupe, was granted a cash bail in the sum of $5000.
Police inspector Michael Laudat informed the court that the drugs were recovered from the home of Emmaunel on 26th June, 2012.
St John was in the company of three children at the time and told officers who were conducting a search warrant there that he had “some weed there to smoke.”
Attorney Glen Ducreay in his mitigation plea for St John told the court that his client uses the drug for medicinal and spiritual reasons, and had no intent to supply it to anyone.
Ducreay added that St John pleaded guilty to the offence because he was due to travel on Monday with his four children.
Magistrate ordered that the $2,000.00 fine be paid by 31 August – St John faces 10 weeks in prison if he defaults on that payment.
Both Emmanuel and Williams are scheduled to return to court on 15th November, 2012 for trial.
The sad thing about this affair is that on this board are many men who are commenting on the beauty(or lack-hereof) of some other men. This is not only disgusting and unbecoming, but also unmanly and rather a very effeminate state of affairs.
It make it seems like Dominica is filled with closet homos.
Thanks for a good laugh, everyone. These guys sure aren’t the best looking and their expression seem to be one which says, “weh! look is now we die!”
@ Watching
Amazingly, they have girlfriends who love them or pretend to love them.
Some women do not mind. I suppose as long as they can financially support them.
Ca ou ka dire la noh? Some women will even fight over them. lmao!
Dem boys, make ‘YELLOW’ and ‘ZANG’look pretty…..
Dominican-England
They are convicts; no makeup. When people are lawless which is godlessness they cannot look any better. They do not have anything to smile about. Furthermore their pictures are mug shots.
Racists must be proud of the negative comments
…dissing your own kind….smh 
There race wouldn’t matter honey. Ugly is as ugly looks.
@ Papamete
Every one loves beauty and a beautiful face. I wonder why some people are ugly and others are not? Only God knows.
A pastor stated on a religious TV program that someone called a man ugly. The man replied to the person, “Do not complain to me. Complain to God.”
Some years ago a Toronto journalist wrote an article for a Newspaper about the face of people. It was stated that we came into the world beautiful and innocent but later for some it is a different story that people take on the face they deserve, as they live. I clipped out that article and still have it.
The face is the mirror of the heart and reflects what is in imbedded in it. There is truth in this.
Twa makak….They are so ugly it’s unberable to peek at the pictures.My husband is St.Lucian what a handsome man he is, St.Lucia is know to have beautiful people but even he asked where did they get them two monkies from? We had a good laugh still LOAOL.
Can you imagine turning over in a bed in the morning and seeing those 3 mask lol a heart attack must kill you and women fighting for them way papa money making jombie dance not little speed they have
shaking in my boots! dem man dere Uuglyyyyyyyy!!!
Yes, I am really enjoying the comments. You all made my week end so laughable. I cried due to laughing so hard.
but why didn’t the police let the guys take of their masks they still have masks taking out photo.
No wonder they sell drugs. Nobody would hire these horrible looking men to do anything else! Take a bath and comb your hair. Brushing your teeth is a good idea too, and wash your clothes. Water is almost free in Dominica … no excuse to looking as nasty as these guys. Can you imagine any one of them actually working at a real job? It’s not a choice to be born poor, but being pure nasty IS a choice.
@ Carol
This is the reason why they cannot get decent jobs or even try. I do believe that it is their fault. There are people who are not attractive but when dressed they are accepted. They are involved in crimes which is why they look that way.
Some people, with their hair style and manner of dressing and not even smiling will not be accepted by society. Society in general or prospective employers will still not accept them if they look like that. They are old enough to know that. It is too bad they do not consider it.
they look like three sins (adultery,murder and false witness)
A-lass papa. Joe, I said that if sin had a face, they’d be it. Too funny.
alick boy you again.in 1994 police and custom hold you on the beach in mero wee boy..you wil not stop now eh!
What ya a tak bout mi neighba wife givn dem man competition
The yellow thing around their necks are for the mug shot photo but it wasn’t necessary to show the public the details on the board , using a company logo in this case is typical Dominican but if I were the CEO of the said company I would be grateful for the advertising.
OH MY GOD WHERE THEY RESURRECT THOSE MOOS THERE? THEY MUST BE FROM MARIGOT.
i guess u would know since they related to u jack
Awa wi cuz ,dat is not belle to d highest degree,forget d crime they commited I say charge them for trying to banish beauty and good looks on earth,mama mon,yes ah
Is not ugly they ugly is d sea dat doing dat to them and they will not change thier looks b cuz even sharks will run away from them but not the police.
The first one have a stroke in his face man?????
at least the one in the middle can pass but sheldon and alick….zor ka van ugliness.
Well i glad because as far as i care its time the police put together a hit squad with immunity from prosecutor to seek and eliminate all drug dealers. Also a squard is needed to pick up and whip soundly all young men that idling on street corners or wasting time in school but first the termites must deliver the new state college and the state must pay the tutors salaries and reduce tuition so every dominican child must be given an equal opportunity to help develop our human resource instead of emulating the drug barons present in our society. The police must do more. They must clear the streets of roseau and our communities of the points of drug sale. Even right by the station fellars have sack pouch selling like is coconut cheese and greeting officers
BONDIEU!!! for halloween all allu have to do is put dem 3 man to stand up in de street… alas ….too ugly!! i actually feel sorry 4 dem man..I fraid!!!!
Well Well, am laughing with tears coming down my face thats was indeed a very good friday laugh.
All I’m doing is reading the comments and laughing out real loud . Dominicans par feb !!
Lord my people not easy eh… These comments are hilarious! Alas, but seriously the pics not easy nuh…
It is becoming a joke with our Lawyers{LIEYERS}while it is their right to defend their cliant by any means necessary but to tell the court his cliant uses the drugs for medicinal purposes and not submit to the court the evidence of such defence provided by a medical prationer is geting to be a tired and over used defence and our magistrate should adress that A.S.P. No disrespect to anybody but it`s only in Dominica those BS is tolerated. Thats why in the more develop countries some of our Lawyers would not be qualified to stand as legal Aid” Smfh”.
I notice the lime logo, that they are wearing around there neck,lime is playing it”s part in helping to stop crime in dominica, and still making money on the war on drugs.
As for there physical appearance that”s left to be desired, an encounter in a dark alley-way would send chill to a grown man spine.[LOL]
A native son in California
Government of Dominica and Social Welfare Office, whatever this is called. This Emmanuel woman has children. She was found with those men on the boat which transported illegal drugs. She was bailed $5,000. The fact that she was in the company of drug dealers on a boat which was ceased by the Dominica Police, she should still have been held without bail. She has proved to be an irresponsible mother. Her children should be taken away from her and handed over to the Social Service in Guadeloupe, if they were born in Guadeloupe and reside there. So they use their children to receive compassion from magistrates, to be granted bail and to avoid imprisonment?
Listen up Magistrates. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. You must be fair to all, whether man or woman with child or not.
is u stupid or just dumb wat u talking about has noting to do with the emmanuel case read ur facts properly the boat case and the emmanuel case are too seperate cases that’s why u dominicans are so damn illiterate u all just like beth and is so all u does sell ur own people hope ur children in ur household aight n no one dont come for them. read read read
The Great US OF A is now decrinimilizing the charges for possesion, when will dca follow suit.
@ The Inquirer
Do not hold your breathe. It will suffocate you. Dangerous drugs as marijuana should never be de-criminalized. Governments who do will end up with a dangerous, uncontrollable country and society in time.
A hustle is a hustle ,,,it may be selling coconut tablet or selling condos,hustle hard,,since is not no bugry business
Stupid!
A moda cannot make those ugly there awah..it must be d see or d police beat dem,birds of a feather really flock together..
According to my 2 year old “EWWW this is a mess!!!!”
Yo, the first padner needs immediate surgery, the two others will get a makeover and a little make up when they get to stocky.
I know Jah created us in his own image and likeness but them fellas right there shows that accidents do happen.
Tell them fellas, Mas in DA is still next year, so they can remove their Sensay mask……too early panders, at least wait for Creole festival. Allu must win best mask costume.
OMG LOLOL
all comments probably having dem man crying now….
Govt of Dominica please do something for the poor people, u making life too hard for them forcing them to CRIME!
The government is not there to “take care of” people. They are supposed to do that for themselves. It’s in slavery times that the Massa takes care of the slaves. Not now days. Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.
Pirates of the Caribbean DAVY JONES,BOOTSTRAP,BARBOSSA,.. been looking for my crew ever since.
By any chance is the name of the boat the police caught those pirates on named ‘THE BLACK PEARL’?
Are you serious? they must be from another planet.
After a few days of food, relaxation and recreation in Stock Farm they will look fit and handsome again.
nice one!!! hahahaha I agree. A few days inhouse the complexion will be nice again, the sea that do that.
@ Anonymous
You made me laugh.
I did think that they look horrible, friends of Satan or his children. A few nutritious meals in Stock Farm will restore their faces to a healthy look.
no matter how long they relax they just can’t look any better
buh how d first man ugly so
@ smh i was there checking the same thing wi papa met that is ugliness for your money
What all of them have that yellow thing around dere neck for
LIME neck band they have there…..lol
@Dorival John – Very sharp eyes you got. Didn’t spot it on my first look. Hmmm well LIME all you popular wiii. Look them prisoners already want to change their careers and move into the field of advertising LIME logo; at least they could have smiled better than dat eh.
On another note, DNO I would like to nominate the picture of the three men above for 1st prize in your 2012 ugliest picture of the year contest(if you decide to have such a contest). Thanks.
@ Ras Fatha
I had to take a second look. They are partners in crime. Probably an identifiable icon for other partners.
thats their registration number.
This tag is earned by being ugly they have reached the highest rank, platinum medalists.
Dey is brothers man?
well boy Trust me i would arrest alll of them for being to damn ugly……. lol lol
To all of you who comment about their faces, they do look horrible and I got a good laugh about that. However, they are God’s created children. If they turn from their wicked ways, humbly repent and make penance and sacrifice as a form of restitution to appease God, they stand a good chance of when they die to go Heaven. As we pray for ourselves including our wants, let us pray for such people that God may give them the grace of repentance to turn to Him. Many people, also worldwide are in dire need of that. May God inspire us to help them spiritually. He will do the rest.
I hope they get a prettier when they get saved papa.
lol
What some face bwoy….I would arrest all of them for just looking so
EBEH MAMA. THOSE FACES THERE-AWA WI.I FRIGHTEN WHEN I SCROLLED DOWN LMAOOO

I love the jokes. You made me laugh so much.
me too all u dominicans have jokes wi
lolololololol
always ganga where are the powder arrest hmmmmmmmm
@Stupes, I wish I could do 100 thumbs down on your comment. Dominica DOES need to be cleaned up. Your intolerance for this positive statement tells so much about you.
I must say that the court made a terrible error. If someone is due to leave the state On Monday, then he should be required to pay by Friday. Leniency in that case is not in the country’s best interest.
On a positive note, thumbs up to the police for the few recent interceptions. Keep Fighting to Keep Dominica Drug Free
Shame on the magistrate. The man has to travel on Monday and he has the end of August to pay the fine. If he does not back. He should be made to pay it right away.
@ Peep
What type of Dominican are you or are you a Dominican? They committed a crime, importation of illegal drugs. Children or not; traveling or not they must comply with the magistrate’s order.
READ PEEP’S COMMENT AGAIN…. YOU’RE NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT HE MEANT
the government & courts departments along with the police need to set the bail at a higher amout into the four (4) figures when come to large quantities of drugs confisticated so that monies or qualaterals used for bail can used to for the drug squad unit for improvement and training protecting our shores and future children for a safer drug free society,once they skipped bail.Let them know such business is not tolerated
@ first lady
Whatever, the amount of bail is insufficient. It should be higher.
They can only work within the limits of the law. If the law permits higher bail charges then so be it. If not they cannot just override the regulations because of their own sense of ‘justice’. As far as I know this was one of the reasons that resulted in the demise of Behanzin.
Dominica, clean up your streets. They are destroying your homes, your family and your children. Send your children to school so that they can become the doctors, lawyers, teachers and nurses. Do not tolerate this from a few rotten eggs in the community.
oh shut up with ur generic, tailor fitted, cookie cutter response…
sounds rehearsed….
@ stupes
You should shut up.
Are you one of those who endorse illegal importation of illegal drugs or those who do? You do not appear to be a patriotic Dominican. 
Have respect for the views of others. 
U should shut up …looks like u don’t have kids and ur family don’t care about u; that’s why u talk this way fool
shut up look at those pics fool dem man UGLY!
wat will b the reason for lawyers?
WELL AREN’T YOU AN OPTIMIST
While I get your point there are other much needed professions and many which pays much better too….. lawyers, teachers and nurses alone cannot run de country….we do need the garbage men and builders etc and they are all honest paying jobs that no one should be ashamed off…everyone trying to make a money to survive no matter how we look at it…
Not if drug dealers are making the money by sacrificing our children in giveing them drugs in exchange for money.
Do we want the next generation that is going to take over Dominica a DRUGIE generation?
Do you realize adults are the ones that are selling the drugs to the younger people and even making some the young people sell it to their friends?
There are some youths that can’t finish school because of the drug lords trying to distroy the younger generation.
Tell the drug dealers they will hide from the police but they can’t hide from God who is our True judge.
God Bless Dominica.
Ssshhh
Where illegal drugs are concerned we cannot endorse them.
Interestingly, I read on a Canadian Website, one who commented, if the government legalizes those drugs, then everyone should be in on it and not only for a few. It makes good sense. I visualize the situation will be worst what with competition. It is stated that Canada will never legalize those drugs. Let us wait and see.
you talking them man so ugly they scaring people. that is why there were arrested.
