Man Admits Death Threats, Attack on Ex

Moises Flores

It is considered a lesser offense, but a domestic dispute escalated to the courts after Moises Flores of Holy Emmanuel Street admitted to threatening his former partner with her life. The forty-year-old Flores told his ex on Monday that he would kill her and followed up by stabbing at her – but he missed. The woman, whose name we will withhold, told police that she and Flores were talking at home when he began to accuse her of stepping out on him with one of their neighbors. He then grabbed a knife and uttered the words, “Ah wah kill yuh,” followed by the attempted stabbing. After the guilty plea, Magistrate Michelle Trapp fined Flores two hundred dollars due by July fifteenth, 2018 in addition to an old fine for a traffic offense.
