They assaulted him and stole his vehicle, but he’s forgiven them

Pedro Pena

Pedro Pena

A businessman who was partying with two men he met at a local bar on April twenty-second was robbed of his car, a 2000 gold Jeep Cherokee, and a thousand dollars in cash. The two men are nineteen year old Omar Espat and twenty-seven year old Pedro Pena, a supervisor at Ready Call Centre. They both appeared in court on Monday and were briefly charged, that’s because Kenny Cox told Magistrate Dorothy Flowers, that he had spoken with Espat’s father and learned that he is soon to be a father and wanted to be home for the birth of his child. Cox had initially made a report saying that he had hooked up with Espat and Pena and was heading to Rose Garden when in the area of Nazarene High School he was assaulted. Both overpowered him but he managed to throw himself out of the car. He later recovered the vehicle and Espat’s cell phone which led police to Pena and him.

    Send them to Jail… screw his baby! He should have thought of that before he committed the crime.

  2. Jose says:

    ESPAT can be a father while seating his a….in jail

  3. Brent says:

    Hang them !!!!

  4. Mar says:

    Let him pay for his crime. Excusing him will only let him do it again. What example will he be to his child, will he teach him to assault people too?

  5. BELIZEAN PRIDE says:

    he’s a good samaritan but on the other side he’s encouraging them to robb again with his forgiveness and when will the crime decline with people getting away with things like these. let them pay for their actions and to reflect in jail what happens when you do stupidness.

  6. Al says:

    Espat Sr., should be charged for interfering in a legal case. That is bribery, he may not have used money, but he sure used the unborn child as legal tender. Espat Jr., certainly did not think of his unborn child, he could have been shot and killed, then what, the child would have been without a father anyway. A crime was committed and they should pay.

  7. June says:

    For clarification purposes Pedro is not a supervisor at ReadyCall…

  8. Elgin Martinez says:

    Who give …. about your baby.You wasn’t thinking about that when you injured this man.

  9. Grant says:

    Jail them, too late to worry about the consequences now. Should have thought of it earlier.

    all this dah bs, this jackass have a pregnant woman at home and look where he was heading, ROSE GARDEN, what the s…. this expecting father was going to do dah this whore place, IMAGINE, now he try to use his child to cover up his crime, cock and bull story, now he shoud be heading straight to jail, this men behaviour upset me. no wonder we have so many people infected with the AIDS virus and God knows what else. STOP USE YOUR CHILD TO COVER YOUR STINKING A…..;

  11. Islander says:

    It sucks when cowardly people like this businessman forgive thieves, cause guess what’s gonna happen. Two months down the road they will once again rob someone else and this time they might actually injure or kill their victim.

    I certainly hope they change their ways and that this forgiveness doesn’t make them more bold in their thefts.

    Hope if they do continue with their crooked ways they run into a businessman who is armed.

  12. worried in DC says:

    was thinkint the same thing Macal everyone forgot about ROSE GARDEN……… was going there for drinks n good conversation.

  13. Nancy says:

    This sort of behavior should not be tolerated!! If they had the courage to do the crime after supposedly hanging out with Cox….what else will these hooligans do next now that they are left to roam the streets free of charges! Cox should be man enough to put them where they belong!

  14. Judas says:

    a child is no excuse for him.let him pay n go to jail.he will never change.he’ll always be bad.the birth of his child means nothing to him.
