Police officers had to 'run for their lives' after man allegedly sets 2 pit bulls on them

ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- Investigating Officer Constable Shamelle Matthew said the close proximity of the police cruiser was a welcome sight when two, seven-foot brown and black pit bulls with ‘muscles’ were allegedly let loose by Aubrey Daniel of Duffs Bottom, Tortola, and instigated to attack officers responding to a domestic dispute at his home.

“It was so frightening to me, all now my heart racing just thinking of it. Thank God the police vehicle was there,” he said at the start of the trial at the Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday February 12, 2020.

He said during the ordeal on June 17, 2018, his only thoughts were “run for my life, or I will die.”

Officer Matthew testified that before the defendant ran to his dogs, he told the officers, “If all you don't come out in my place today, I will let go my dogs on all you.”

Similarly, Officer Carlton Saunders, who was also responding to the dispute, said: “We had to run, we were in fear for our lives.”

The Armed Response Unit was called for backup after which they arrested and charged the defendant with assault on police, failure to register dogs and reckless and negligent act.

Domestic dispute

The officers said the defendant’s wife called the police station to make a report that her husband was in breach of a protection order she had against him.

Officer Matthew said the crux of the matter was that the Virtual Complainant (VC) said she bought some building materials to renovate her section of the house she shared with her husband.

She resided to the front and her husband towards the back of the same dwelling home.

On that day, the defendant decided to renovate the house in her section with the materials without her consent.

When the officers arrived at the scene, the defendant was spotted inside the house not far from his wife and overheard what was being said.

The defendant subsequently fled to his section but blurted out that the house belonged to him, and his wife is pregnant again with his child because she came to his side of the house.

He also reportedly said the protection order she spoke of had expired.

The trial is expected to continue on February 25, 2020.

Michael Maduro is representing the defendant during the criminal proceedings.

    Man and wife melee. Woman you call police over stupidness. It has so many other family disputes more serious than this. You sense when the Devil busy.

    On a separate note, a lot of people stirs up issues to get innocent ones in trouble. The saying is really true: a chain is as strong as its weakest link. Look for the weakest link in your life.

        Man and wife melee. Yellow trousers, she went to his side of the house even though there was a court order on him to stay away frpm her. It's man and wife melee. Obviously the order was not in her favor anymore as she wanted ...

        Tell me where you see domestic violence in this? Like her blog below says marriages and relationships have trials and tribulations. 3rd parties ought to keep out.

        Actually, its says: "On that day, the defendant decided to renovate the house in HER SECTION with the materials WITHOUT HER CONSENT." [emphasis added]

        While he may have had good intentions, their dispute apparently was still ongoing as well as an active restraining order. He was in the wrong anyhow you looked at it. Then he made it worse by setting dogs on the responding officers? sigh... how stupid can one possibly get?

      Majority of the time it's the owners that encourage that type of behavior & because certain breeds like pitbulls are more eager to please their owners they are more susceptible. I've always had pitbulls and never had any aggression issues.

    Hi as I could remember three tears ago where our vehicle turn up in an accident where another news company wrote a story about me we rolled twelve times and fell 160 feet down my husband my self and these children u are all here talking about and survived I could recall thinking back on the second roll in this vehicle about what people blogged and said about me and taught my life have ended or my children would have all died but god moved mountains and made everything possible that we are still here today . So your blogs today is meaningless to me because in my father's book I am looking good.. I have not wasted anytime to read your blogs because real people do real things fake people have to hide behind false names to blog. If i blog i put my name so u can see who exactly is speaking . I blog on facebook not news sites . This situation was last year and they are many marriages and relationships where people go true trials and tribulations this is what strengthen relationships some are in the open while others are behind close doors it is sad to see the level of love we have for each other and how low we think about each other . Dont waste your breath and count my children they are bless and destin to do great things .many of you should know they are many persons in . This earth and world wish they could have had children trying to get or some are aborting them I am thankful for everyone of my children . . Dont waste time speaking about my life story .take time out put down your phones and other devices and read the bible and learn about how god favors persons like my self see about what he says about persons that quiver is full and also how he speaks about the fruit of the womb . I have no time to stoop to your level Bob Markey says it's a foolish dog barks at a flying bird and also I want to thank all the bloggers for their blogs your energy makes me stronger .lmao

      All I can say is bless your heart girl. Some women don’t have labor pains and they give birth very easy, some women suffer in labor pain for hours. I have 2 and I can still remember what the pain felt like. If I could chew through raw glass to ease my labor pain I would have. Good luck to you and if you want to have 15 kids, that is your rights.
