Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer was robbed by an intruder armed with a machete while he was vacationing on Nevis, court officials said Monday.
Although the incident occurred last week Thursday the matter surfaced in the public domain only yesterday.
According to CNN Breyer, his wife and two other guests were in the justice’s vacation home at the time, but officials said no one was hurt in the incident.
Nevisian court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said the male assailant took $1,000 in cash and fled the scene.
The robbery was reported to local authorities shortly after it happened last Thursday night, and local media said no arrests had been made as of Monday, according to CNN.
The US Marshals Service, which provides security for traveling US Supreme Court justices, and the FBI are assisting local law enforcement in investigating the matter.
The USA Supreme Court Justice is more vulnerable to crime in the USA than anywhere in the the Eastern Caribbean. Where was his security detail.
He probably has off shore investments in Nevis.
This news is already in the US like hot bread!!!
These guys are making it bad for the Caribbean.
SO YOU KNOW ALL NOW SO THEM POLICE HAVE MISTER IN CUSTODY GIVIN HIM A SERIOUS POUND…BLOWS LEFT AND RIGHT…BOTTOM OF GUN ALONE MISTER GETTIN…….
Where was his security detail and i am sure the Nevis Govt know that he was on the island. Someone drop the ball in this one….heads will be rolling for sure…
Here’s a better idea: American’s Constitution places Supreme Court members on the same level (or above) that of a sitting US President. It must be assumed that Nevis has allowed the criminal attack on the Constitution of the United States when they permit a machete weilding attack on an SCJ with no repocussions for the attacker. Accordingly, a few air strikes, some drone attacks and a visit from Seal Team Six seem like a most appropriate and measured response.
This is not some mere citizen of the US. Punishment needs to be a counterstroke representing the crime. In the alternative, and at least, an embargo similar to the Cuban, and no trade or travel on the island until the preps are captured, and executed. You wanna f with us? This is how we f with you.
this is a sad situation i hope my dominica people are not thinking of doing the same let us check these r the people that work hard to save their money to come in our country to spend their money so we can help develop our country and ourselves picture a day with no tourist ship taxi drivers have to meet the bank with their payments and houserent ,food ,clothes for their children what do they do when i add it all up it balance to small crimes no tourists that leads to bigger crimes and now the very citizens live in fear for their lives and we all ask what is going on that is the result of one greed, idiot …. lazy do know whAt to do with themselves jackass remember you can only catch bees with honey smoke them out and everything will crash
This is crazy !!!!!!
But where were the US Marshals?????
Things seem to be getting worse and worse . Dominica having weekly dangerous crimes committed . Somebody better get busy before there is NO tourist coming .
didnt you read that the crime was committed in Nevis??
Tourist should not walk arohnd with money….they will alwats be targeted…then again these small businesses in the island do not accept debit or credit cards…..most of the larger businesses do NT accept these cards either….sorry man…there are some people who just want to live a life of crime …while there are others who got into this lifestyle necause of bad circumtances in their life….I know it still boils down to a choice..but life circumstances have given some more chices than others
These guys term in office is for life …thT is too long
Ignorance is truly bliss. SO sure that the robber had no idea who he was attacking. He just saw a little feeble old man he could take advantage of. My oh my!!! So, so sad.
I trust that there will be some quick resolve to this matter, as the Caribbean can’t afford another Natalie fiasco.
