St. Joseph man takes out frustration on toilet

A broken toilet

A St. Joseph man who was on remand has been slapped with a two-week prison sentence for the malicious damage of a Dominica State Prison toilet.

According to the facts of the case presented by the police prosecutor before magistrate Evelina Baptiste this morning, Dennis Shillingford, who pleaded guilty to the offense, was in a confrontation with another inmate at the prison when the incident took place.

According to the court, Shillingford took out his frustration on the toilet bowl during the confrontation by stomping on it on November 11, 2009.

Shillingford was also ordered to pay $500 for the damaged toilet by July 31, 2010 or he spends four more weeks in prison.

    I guess the other inmate gave him an ass whooping, so he feeling bad took his frustration out on the harmless toilet. A real idiot he must be…
