Miranda is Third Person Charged in Attempted Robbery of Chon Saan Palace

Ernie Hyatt Miranda, 28, the third person who was allegedly involved in the attempted robbery at Chon Saan Palace on March 31, was charged with attempted robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery when he appeared in the #1 Magistrate’s Court on Monday, April 12. Miranda pled not guilty to the charge. Chief Magistrate Margaret McKenzie explained to him that the Court could not offer him bail because the attempted robbery was committed with a firearm. She remanded him into custody until May 6.

Last Tuesday Detective Constable Jermaine Mangar and Jermaine Palacio were charged with the same offence.

Miranda’s troubles were not over, however. He was taken from the #1 Magistrate’s Court to the #2 Magistrate’s Court where he was charged with common assault, to which he pled guilty. He was sentenced to 3 months by Magistrate Sharon Fraser.

The incident occurred on December 3, 2009. Miranda’s ex-common law wife, Tiffany Francis reported to the Police that she was sleeping at her friend’s house on Flamboyant Street when she was awakened by a loud banging on the door. She said she realized that it was Miranda and she ran into her friend’s room and jumped through the window.

But Miranda was right there and he dragged her on the ground.
