Man with ankle bracelet goes missing
The monitoring center has lost track of a drug suspect who was tagged with an ankle bracelet as a condition of his bail, The Nassau Guardian has learned.
David Colebrook, who has two pending drug trafficking cases, reportedly failed to charge his bracelet weeks after a judge refused to order the removal of the device to allow him to go fishing, according to a well-placed source.
The monitoring center lost track of Colebrook in Eleuthera, noted the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
He has also stopped reporting at the station, sources said.
Police issued a wanted poster for the 50-year-old resident of Jasmine Gardens on May 10, accusing him of violating his bail conditions.
On March 30 a number of persons, some of them on bail for murder, had their bail revoked for tampering with their bracelets.
The suspects reportedly used foil paper to interfere with the GPS tracking device.
The Free National Movement launched the electronic monitoring program in December 2010. According to a report released by ICS Bahamas, the company responsible for the monitoring program, in early March 315 persons were fitted with the device, and more than 7,100 "offender alarms" were recorded.
The great conspiracy - will Minnis survive
Dear Editor,
In Bahamian politics it is a phenomenon of the highest order that deposed or defeated leaders appear never to know when to fade or ride off in to the proverbial sunset. Like vampires, they often seek to come back again and again, ad nauseum.
Political comebacks are nothing new under the sun and we in this nation should not be alarmed by the seeds for the return of a badly mauled and bitter former prime minister to bounce back. As an unbiased and analytical observer of politics in The Bahamas for the past decades, it is abundantly clear to me that the rusty cutlasses and long knives have now been unsheathed and are poised to be plunged into the bosom, as opposed to the back of the leader of the FNM.
The Ingraham era is over. With those five fateful words, Dr. Hubert Alexander Minnis (FNM-Killarney) drew the ire of the former and defunct prime minister. It does not matter that they may have and may still be "good" friends. In raw politics, friendship, like other relationships, is based on accommodation and utility.
A shell shocked former prime minister, in my view, is like a chicken with no head. That chicken or Abaco buzzard will flutter around squawking and gyrating while it seeks to claw all within its reach. It is no different on the ground within the FNM at this stage. None can legitimately deny that Ingraham and his crew did much good for the nation. None, however, is able to deny that in the last two years of their term in office that they became obnoxious and arrogant in the extreme.
It is not so much that the people rejected Ingraham and company, but rather that they squandered whatever goodwill they may have had when the now defunct leader crowed "I am a one-man band" and that he would "remember those who went back to work and would not forget those who did not". In the main, I postulated, loose lips are still sinking ships.
The FNM was roughed up and badly maimed by the onslaught of the "gold rush" during the May 7 general election. That doll house party is still reeling on the ropes and staggering around in the arena like a sailor who is dead drunk. The loyalist and deluded allies of the former prime minister are, clearly, hoping to resurrect Lazarus, again, from his political grave. It cannot, however, happen without my direct input. Once bitten, I submit, twice shy.
Dr. Minnis must show fortitude and demonstrate that he is the de jure leader of the demoralized and utopian FNM. Yes, it would be easy for him to just step aside and to say the hell with all of those political cowards and tin gods within his crumbling party. The good doctor, however, would be seen and perceived as a quitter and a leader with no backbone. Dr. Minnis is now astride a seemingly demented and half-crazed tiger and if he were to get off or be thrown off, his political fate would be sealed in his own blood.
Immediately, the doctor must take the reins of his party and throw down the gauntlet on the floor. Some say that he is too gentile and too soft to stand his ground. I beg to differ. Dr. Minnis is a proud product of the inner city of New Providence. He came up on the rough side of the mountain and has iron will.
Maximus Ingraham, with all charity, may have unwittingly unleashed the political cannibals and zombies within the FNM by his obvious reluctance to just move off center stage. The world no longer revolves around his orbit and he is passé. Indeed, he is one of yesterday's men.
In my heart of hearts, however, I am more than persuaded that Dr. Minnis will emerge from this Machiavellian conspiracy to undermine his regime and his attempts to rebuild the once indomitable FNM in his own image. Minor players, like Darron Cash et al, will prove to be mere irritants and gnats who he will easily brush or swat aside like the political mosquitoes that they are.
Don't pay any attention to their antics to grab the headlines for the day. They could not win their own constituencies but now rear up on their hind legs, like the thing with the big ears and very short tail, to preen and genuflex without foundation. The good doctor, like former British Prime Minister of long ago Benjamin Disraeli, will overcome and he will, one day, ascend to the very top of the political greasy pole.
Political treachery and backstabbing have been around for eons. Today one may appear to be your friend. Even before the day is out, that same wretch, without apparent cause or justification, will be the first one to draw the not so hidden cutlass or dagger and plunge it into your back or chest.
Dr. Minnis must remain vigilant and focused. Again I say that those of his colleagues who are unable or willing to fish or cut bait must either get the hell out of the dinghy or be thrown overboard. To God then, in all of these mundane and cutthroat things, be the glory.
