NASSAU- Two women on Monday told a magistrate that they were no longer interested in pursuing domestic violence cases against their exes.
Police arrested Jason Johnson, 41, after his ex-girlfriend claimed that he had pulled a shotgun on her and touching her breasts against her will.
However, the prosecution dropped charges of possession of a firearm with intent to put another in fear and indecent assault at the 37-year-old woman’s request.
Similarly, police arrested Dexter Duncombe, 42, based on a complaint by his ex-girlfriend on May 18.
At the time, she told police that Duncombe choked her, threatened to stomp her and damaged her $190.10 cellphone by throwing it on the ground.
Earlier this month, a pregnant woman caught a flight from the Berry Islands to drop a domestic violence case against her boyfriend.
Police arrested and charged Cordero Saunders, 31, with assault with a deadly weapon after the woman claimed he’d pulled a handgun on her.
But after his arrest, the woman had a change of heart.
Police in Great Harbour Cay, Berry Islands refused to allow the woman to drop the case. So, she caught a flight to New Providence to make the withdrawal.
Saunders apologised to the woman in court and promised that it wouldn’t happen again.
Since police didn’t find the handgun, Saunders faced no other charge in relation to the case.
However, Saunders is currently on bail pending a retrial on charges of kidnapping, armed robbery and conspiracy to commit armed robbery.
Those charges stem from the 2013 murders of Immigration Officer Shane Gardiner and his girlfriend Tishka Braynen in Andros.
