UPDATE - Arraignment for alleged MoneyGram robbers pushed back again
Rodney Simmonds Jr., Leonard Sprauve, Mikhail Howe, Michael Stevens and Jason Stevens were to be arraigned yesterday, May 7, 2012 in the High Court. This is because Michael Stevens’ lawyer, Akeela Anderson, has not received the deposition from the Crown as yet.
Initially, Michael’s legal dilemma was holding up the case. But Principal Crown Counsel Tiffany Scatliffe told Justice Albert Redhead that Ms. Anderson will get the documents before the week is out.
The five young men are charged with robbery, unlawful possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and wounding with intent, and possession of explosives. They are on remand.
According to court records, the robbery happened around 4:30 p.m. on January 21, 2011 when two security officers had picked up the day’s earnings – 193, 409.33 – to be taken to the National Bank of the Virgin Islands.
Howe and Michael were arrested the same day, while officers picked up the other three days after.
