UPDATE: Monica King fined $1000 for damaging jeep
King pleaded guilty on May 3, 2013 to charges of criminal damage, common assault and throwing missiles.
Senior Magistrate Tamia Richards ordered that the defendant be reprimanded and discharged on the count of common assault.
According to the allegations, King pushed the Virtual Complainant (VC) and hit her from behind after the two had an argument on September 24, 2012. After being hit, the VC allegedly confronted the defendant and they had a small tussle. The fight was parted and the VC reportedly made an attempt to leave the scene.
The VC alleged that the accused was acting irate and her friend tried to calm her but the accused then picked up a rock and threw it at the VC who ducked; the missile reportedly hit the right front passenger door causing damages. The VC then left for the East End Police Station and while making her report, the accused arrived at the station.
The accused reportedly admitted to the accusation that she attacked the VC and threw a stone, causing damages to the VC’s jeep.
At the previous hearing, the defendant told the Magistrate that a male, whom she was involved with at the same time as the VC in the matter had arrived while the two women were having discussions and an argument ensued as a result of his presence.
King told the Court that the man was the father of her two children and that the two had now parted ways.
The defendant also told that she needed to pay compensation in the amount of $220 to the VC for the damage caused to her vehicle.
She was instructed to pay the fine by June 17, 2013 or face imprisonment.

UPDATE: Monica King pleads guilty in missile throwing affair
- Likely expensive lesson to be end result- Magistrate
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – Senior Magistrate Tamia Richards expressed that an expensive lesson would be the likely end result after Monica King, 25, of Shepherd’s Hill pleaded guilty to the three charges she faced before the Magistrate’s Court today, May 3, 2013.
The accused appeared previously on March 15, 2013 but did not offer a plea to any of the charges she faced, since she had expressed intentions of securing an attorney.
When the matter was called today, King told the court that she did not get to retain a lawyer; she then pleaded guilty to the charges of criminal damage, common assault and throwing missiles.
King told the Magistrate that a male, whom she was involved with at the same time as the Virtual Complainant (VC) in the matter had arrived while the two women were having discussions on September 24, 2012 and an argument ensued as a result of his presence. King told the Court that the man was the father of her two children and that the two had now parted ways.
The two women resolved to have the damaged vehicle at the centre of the matter repaired through a person that they both know.
When asked what she had to say in mitigation before the Magistrate passed her sentence, King said, “I apologise for my actions on that night, unfortunately [the situation between the defendant and VC] has been going on four years back and forth. I should have behaved a little more proper.”
Magistrate Richards expressed that similar incidents are usually costly and told the defendant, “this may be an expensive lesson. You don’t have to lose your cool if you see the other woman.”
She also told the defendant when one is involved in a triangle relationship, “just go into your house and lock your door, take your two feet and walk away.”
King will return to court on May 31, 2013 for sentencing in the matter.

Alleged missile thrower lands in court
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – A Shepherd’s Hill woman is facing several charges before the Magistrate’s Court after allegedly assaulting another woman reportedly following a failed attempt at resolving an earlier dispute the two women had.
Monica King, 25, of Shepherd’s Hill, Greenland made an appearance before the Magistrate’s Court on March 15, 2013 facing charges of criminal damage, common assault and throwing missiles following an alleged altercation that took place on September 24, 2012.
King, who was unrepresented at the time of her first appearance, was not required to plea to the summary charges.
According to the allegations read by Principal Crown Counsel Tiffany Scatliffe, the East End Police Station (EEPS) received a report on September 24, 2012 around 7:22 P.M. concerning a disturbance on Shepherd’s Hill. Sgt Williams and Constable Demming reportedly went to the scene of the incident but met no one there upon their arrival and returned to the station.
Shortly afterwards, the Virtual Complainant (VC), came to the EEPS to make a report about the matter. The VC, who owns a Suzuki Grand Vitara jeep, reportedly knows the accused and has a ‘contentious’ relationship with her.
The VC alleged in her report to the Police that earlier in the day she was receiving messages on her MSN instant messenger from the accused as well as phone calls. The two reportedly had an argument during the conversation and as a result, decided on a meeting to discuss their problems.
The VC then went to Shepherd’s Hill in Greenland to meet the accused who showed up with a friend and parked nearby. They then began to have discussions, which subsequently escalated into an argument. The VC then reportedly decided to go back to her vehicle.
According to the allegations, it was at this point that the accused pushed the VC and hit her from behind. After being hit, the VC confronted the accused and they had a small tussle. The fight was parted and the VC reportedly made an attempt to leave the scene.
The VC alleged that the accused was acting irate and her friend tried to calm her but the accused then picked up a rock and threw it at the VC who ducked; the missile hit the right front passenger door causing damages. The VC then left for the EEPS and while making her report, the accused arrived at the station.
The accused reportedly admitted to the accusation that she attacked the VC and threw a stone, causing damages to the VC’s jeep.
She was then informed that she had committed the offences of assault and throwing missiles and was invited to give an interview under caution but reportedly refused to do so.
On September 28, 2012, Sgt Williams received an invoice of $428 to repair the damaged front door from International Motors. Later the same day, the two women met at the station and the accused reportedly apologised and promised to repair the vehicle or pay for the damages and was given a copy of the invoice.
To date, the accused has not paid for the damages to the jeep.
The accused was offered bail in the sum of $30,000 with one signed surety and ordered to have no contact of any kind with the VC. She is to return to the Magistrate’s Court on May 3, 2013 when the matter is expected to continue.
