Yes, Nancy... The taxi driver was Kristofer's brother--law, Omar. He had a taxi fare and the man held a knife to his throat and told him he wanted his money. Then he told Omar to get out of the taxi. Omar felt that the man was going to steal his cab and or kill him. Omar kept a machete under the front seat. When he got out of the car he reached in got the machete and chopped the guy. He then tied him up and took him to the police station and told them what had happened. Later that day, the relatives of the wounded man signed out a warrant of arrest against Omar. Then the cops arrested him. The taxi drivers were uniting against the violence against them as this has been happening for some time on the island. Omar had a weapon and defended himself. He was kept in jail for 5 days before they released him. When he was in jail, two women relatives of the injured man came and told him that when he was set free he would be killed.. so now he his frightened for his life. The crime continues there. The cabbies are quite scared now as they seem to be the prey. http://www.roatanet.com To visit your group on the web, go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/roatan/ roatan- : | |
