Brooklynites Plead Guilty To Fight With Antiguan Cops

2009_10_antigu.jpg A group of Brooklyn residents who got into a fight with cops in Antigua last month—apparently over a cab fare—have decided to plead guilty in hopes of no jail time. The group had been upset about a $100 cab fee (twice what they negotiated with the driver—hey, it's like NYC) and the incident escalated when two plainclothes cops got involved. The tourists swung at them, claiming the cops didn't ID themselves. The cops, in turn, claimed the tourists hit them first—and even bit them. The Brooklyn five will be sentenced today.

    Stupid.



    The last thing you want to do is to get your ass thrown into a Caribbean Jail. They'd better hope they don't get jail time.
