Bail has been granted in the sum of $90,000 each, to two men who had been remanded in connection to a Tarish Pit shooting in December.
Alton Eusebe of La Plaine and Jess Alexander of Gutter Village, appeared before a Roseau Magistrate’s court on Thursday.
Their bail came after previous unsuccessful attempts by their lawyers, which had received strong objections from the prosecution on the grounds that police needed time to complete investigations as a number of firearms were still being sought. However, no objection was put forth to the court on Thursday.
Eusebe and Alexander are to report to the Roseau Police Station three times a week.
Meanwhile, Shermanie Peter, who had been remanded on December 29 in connection to the matter, received bail in the sum of $90,000 on January 9.
Kessler Alcendor of Goodwill and Alexander were slapped with several joint and individual charges on December 29. Alcendor was not granted bail.
Eusebe, Peter, Marvin Roberts of Mahaut and Mandella Gordon of Goodwill faced a number of firearm and drug-related offenses when they appeared before Chief Magistrate Evelina Baptiste on December 23,2011.
There had been reports that men went on a shooting spree in that community on the December 16 and 17, 2011. Reports also stated that they were, “walking up and down, spotting firearms.”
Their charges included : possession of a 12-gauge shot gun without the appropriate license, possession of 11 live rounds of 12-guage shot gun ammunition, the possession of a prohibited sawed off 12-gauge shot gun, possession of cannabis, and possession of 11 rounds of live 12-gauge shot gun ammunition on the La Plaine Public Road without a license.
One individual, Troy Parker, was allegedly wounded by Alcendor during the incident, according to reports.
dat season madsick have big gunz i seen dem..
why in everything that happens in this country some one always has to put politics in it. deal with the issue at hand and stop putting everything on politician.stupesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
90k x2 huh? that’s a lot of money! We keep saying Dominica does not have jobs, and these young criminals get 180k bail combined? WOW! some person(s) making a hell of a lot of money and it’s not the average Dominican.
This is a sad situation for this community,where parents worked very hard to have a decent lifestyle,then suddently,it vanishes away caused by your own child be cause of greed,just to get involved into a life of crime.May God bless and protect our village, (Please offer a prayer)because although they are a threat to society,they are entitled to bail.Therefore,they should be dealt with quickly, and their sentence imposed.
2 paros
Alton was able to get bail but when your turn reach you will not get bail, I hope you and D.N.O what they doing.
Man! You guys are really entertaining. There is never a dull moment with a Dominica online blog. I usually just visit the blog to see what’s going, but from what I can tell the majority of Dominicans today are really hostile and the government corrupt. I’m I reading into your statements too much? A group of friends and I would love to visit “The Nature Island”. My parents were born there and when I was younger it was my favorite place to visit. The people were polite and inviting. The culture was rich as milk and honey. The women…WOF…you already know. However, your comments are making wonder if the whole place has changed. The last time we went on a vacation to St. Thomas, but the locals were really rude. Needless to say I was really embarrassed, since I was born there. I don’t want to go through that again, so I’m looking for some advice. Please let me know if vacationing in Dominica is a good idea.
young money let dem hate
Sad..
This is the end result when one finds himself in bad company.Never too old to learn.

That would be “weak”. If you live in a glass house don’t throw stones.
u sound like a hater
well Dominica News online thank you for your news and the display of the pictures.sorry not my fault
Its time we set up a Bail’s Bond commiitee in DA, like the States,where one has to pay cash 10 percent of the bail to the Govt’s Treasury which is non refundable. I think that would help to deter crimes.
An other thing these lawyers are harassing prosecuters to bail their clients, what would happen when one of these days a lawyer becomes a victim, then that lawyer/victim would be saying to another lawyer give the police chance to complete their investigations

YESS WI EASY SO IT DOES HAPPEN WI!!! WHO SAY IS NOT SO…..THEY DONT KNOW!!!
Awa wi! You make me laugh with that one eh but is so true! STUPES! Smh for Dominica
Very well said and put together. As far as I can see wrong is right and right is wrong just depends on your surname or political affiliation. This too me is very very sad. Hope one day we can rise above that.
the only time things would change is when somebody rackets one of the houses of somebody in high office- parliarmentarian, magistrate, police officers even those very same lawyers who plead fro their guilty clients, but who ca blame the lawyer when they’re doing their jobs?
For now, it isnt happening to them so they turn a deaf ear to our plea, but wait until one of their children is on the wrong side of the table, for example, one of their children get caught in a gang fight and he was just an innocent by stander, then they too (those in high office) shall have the same cry as other citizens of Dominica…… Then we shall see change
As I see it red eyes;weed is the Most major(most major)crime in Dominica.
Heaven Help Us All.
Well blue eyes;b-t-m-n-y ,they must have a smoke screen you know,the real issues are being swept under the Mat in the evenings.that is why they have problems to bring it on Mat in the morning.
DNO THESE GUYS ARE NOT FROM TARISHPIT
GET THEIR WHERE THEY ARE FROM
LA city, reading your comments, I am very disappointed. I have been a strong supporter of the labour party and Mr. St.Jean. I spent most of my free time campaigning for the party. It’s time we put politics aside and come together to develop our community and the nation on a whole. Since the last election, Laplaine has been too divided and comments like that won’t help. Apart from comments we all made in an attempt to get our party in power, has this lady or her family done anything bad or deserving of your comments in the village? As a matter of fact, she has serve us well ate the CCF office and the Credit union. Her brother, I can’t say enough as an owner driver of a motor vehicle. Lets come together to build our community. If you are not prepared to do so, I think you need to examine yourself.
Thanks
HEHEHEHEHEHEH yessssssssssssss I cannot go hungry………
wayyy sp you large
way to go DOMINICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! very GOOD!! these r the days!!!
one ting i will alwaz say u does never kno eh,respect life eh..children that not missing northing,there parents giving them evrything are mostly the one to turn out bad…
what u expect…bail to go and fire more shots…..Dominica Sweet.
If I need to commit a crime I’ll just head to Dominica seem like the justice system really lenient…These two should never be granted bail or whose if their going to intimidate witness being that D’ca is so small…
***who know if they***
Hmmm…granting bail for that and a man with a herb or stealing on a farm taking jail for how long? What kind of friggin system is this boy? Sending them out to be killed or be killed is how i see this
I THOUGHT THE PM SAID THAT HE WILL BE STRICT ON GUN OFFENSIVES .. YOU GIVIN THEM MAN BAIL
there needs a bail legislation for dominica. what offenses man can get bail for and waht they cannot get bail for that is the laws we need. the jail need a special section for them types of offenders too.
Tell Slesser let Ron Green help her pay the bail.I guess Ron brokes..LMAO.Not Pepper she was wishing bad for nuh?
please grow up lets all act our age he need to stay in in jail becouse he going to run to gwada and get more guns
You people are so naive, you all will never get out of the gutter. why? Cause you dont try educating yourselves.
whoever you’re stop it now because all pig have thier aturday foolish Dominican lazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy labouriet go find work to do
LA IGNORANCE
. Very rude of you to personalize the issue. Slesser is not a PUBLIC FIGURE like PEPPER and does not hold herself up to the same scrutiny and accountability standards that a politician has to. It is absolutely within her rights to sue you for defamation of character unlike your PM. Grow up, educate yourself, or get off the computer.
LA CITY you just throw our crown “WISE MEN CAME FROM THE EAST”infact you finish break it it was already crack sacre gass apie sacre sort
u too sot the east only had three wise men and they died hundreds of years ago.. check history..
