Howe sentenced to 5 years 3 months for attempted robbery, assault
The sentence was handed down on Friday, November 8, 2019 at the High Court in Road Town, Tortola.
Howe will spend four years and three months for attempted robbery and an additional 12 months for the assault charge. His sentences are to run concurrently at Her Majesty’s Prison.
Attorneys Patrick D. Thompson and Reynela Rawlins represented Howe during the criminal matter before the court.
Howe and an unknown man attempted to rob
On the night in question, the virtual complainant (VC) was at the cash register in a van, while two other men the VC worked with were packing up for the night.
During that time, the convicted man, armed with a gun and wearing a mask, along with an unknown man, attempted to rob the VC of her earnings for the night.
A fight followed when the men attempted to grab a pink Kipling bag containing cash, but the VC held unto it.
The fight spilt outside the van and the other men, along with the VC, were able to take away the gun and the VC was able to run away with the firearm and her bag of cash.
However, the gunman pursued the VC with a broken bottle. During the pursuit, the VC dropped the gun along the way and entered into a nightclub, where she was rescued by patrons who fought the masked man.
It was during that time the VC recognised the man she called ‘Mickey’ as her attacker.
Assault
During the attack, the VC suffered haemorrhaging to her forehead, a broken left cheekbone and her left index fingernail was dislodged.
Howe was later taken into police custody where he admitted to being part of the robbery as the getaway driver.
The name of his accomplice was not revealed to police.
Howe claimed he was seeking out his accomplice when he was beaten by the patrons of the bar and lost his pants during their assault on him.
