Crafts Alive vendor denies stealing Kindle Fire tablet
Sanette-Donnat, who is also a Belonger, pleaded not guilty and told the court that she would represent herself in the matter. She has reportedly lived in the Territory since 2004.
According to the allegations, the Virtual Complainant (VC), Beverly Smith, was a customer at Riteway on Fleming Street on June 15, 2013 when she reported to the manager that someone stole her Kindle Fire which was left at a cashier’s counter where she paid for her items.
Security footage was reviewed and it was established that the defendant, who was the third customer after the VC, had allegedly taken up the Kindle fire and its case. The Kindle Fire was allegedly stolen, along with a brown leather case, and both items were valued at a total cost of $280.
Sanette-Donnat, while paying for groceries, allegedly placed three cans of corn on the Kindle Fire and paid the cashier for her items before leaving with the device.
A police officer, conducting investigations on June 24, 2013 through interviews and video footage, met the defendant at the Waterfront and informed her of the report against her. Sanette-Donnat was cautioned and arrested but allegedly made no reply at the time.
The defendant, who is also a Crafts Alive vendor, was later transported to the Road Town Police Station and processed and served a copy of her rights in her native language.
A search was later conducted at the defendant’s home at Purcell Estate and 2 black Kindle Fire devices were allegedly taken into police custody. On June 25, 2013 at 7:45 P.M. the VC positively identified the device by the serial number and the imprint on the cover case.
Sanette-Donnat allegedly confessed on June 24, 2013 in a video interview that she was the person who had stolen the device and was charged later the same day. She reportedly has no prior offences.
She is required to submit all travel documents and report three times per week to the Road Town Police Station. The matter will next be heard on November 12, 2013.

She does not live in Haiti, she lives here and is a belonger. What is wrong with people? I know times are hard but I am not going to jail for wanting something that is not mine.
What I laughing at? At you calling the person an idiot while saying that they should learn English. Seems you don't know it too well, since you using 'steel' instead of 'steal'. Steel is an inanimate material used in various type of construction. You already know what 'Steal' is, you just don't know how to spell it.
Send her back home if she cannot respect our laws! She is also very arrogant after being caught on camera. Tax payers have to subsidize a craft Alive booth for this thief! She should be asking for the mercy of the court, apologize and buy the woman a new kindle
Ingratitude is an unpardonable sin

Stop it!! All of these people were already vendors at the cruise pier before they were removed. They used to operate in a tent city. Remember? They had to pack up and unpack every day. Remember? They had to suffer from thieves and still suffering. Remember? They suffer the sweat and tears. Remember? So now the government build a site for them, you don't think the pioneers deserved it?
she allegdly made a mistake - she allegedly thought it was her kindle fire as it looked like hers. On arriving home and noticing that she still had hers, she was about to consult her voodoo priest to locate the owner, then boom! the cops arrived.,....
