Police are reporting that they have arrested a US National and some members of his family residing in Dominica for possessing illegal firearms and ammunition.
According to a report from Inspector of Police Fixton Henderson, “Members of the Anti Crime Task Force of the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force (CDPF), along with investigators from the Unit of the Customs & Excise Division, executed a search warrant at the residence of Jason James Groog, male adult of Indiana USA who reside in Belfast on Monday, April 17, 2023.”
“The Officers also searched a 40-foot storage container which was in possession of Grogg and stored on the compound of a Church in Mahaut and during the search, a Glock 9mm pistol along with a quantity of 9mm and 20mm ammunition among other items were seized for investigations,” Inspector Henderson stated.
He disclosed that during the search of the container, 4 M16 magazines each containing 30 rounds of ammunition and 17 20-gage ammunition were recovered and seized for investigations. Groog along with two members of his family have since been arrested on suspicion of trafficking firearms and ammunition.
Anonymous Comment on the Jason Grogg case update.
Mr.Jason Grogg says he found the gun and ammunition in the container. He clams he accidentally packed it there. Mind you he also says he is an expert in “Gun safety”.
Then after it arrives in DA, he accidentally finds it himself. Takes it to his home. Not the police, like a “law abiding good citizen”
When the police raid his home, they find the gun, placed close to his bed. Fully loaded!!!! With extra ammunition also close by, just in case of an accidental need for more ammunition than guns😉👍🏼👍🏼
So Jason goes on to clams he had innocent, pure intentions. He is a missionary. Great reputation in Mahaut, he clams. Of course he accidentally did not tell the people of Mahaut or at the mission about his loaded gun and ammunition. What would they think of him if they knew he was ‘a gun holding crusader”?
When he came to the village at night and walk around, did he have his gun for protection? That’s okay. Ignore also the fact the mission has kids exposed to this fully loaded “accident”.
So if one day he or one of his family ended up shooting a person with that same gun that he just accidentally shipped into Dominca? What would he say, …..That he illegally kept it because it just happened to be so useful these days😉
What if one of the many young boys who took his wood working clases, found this gun by the bed and accidentally used his gun and killed another person’s child?…. would just call it all a “big accident” that the illegal gun was loaded?.
Let’s pray for wisdom, and wake the … up. This man is a big wolf. After all, he has lived here for over 15 months. Enough time to hide and sell the other “accidentally” inported items.
Hopefully the ‘Fine”/ sentence will be fair on Friday May 5, 2023
We are so nice in Dominca that we also assist him by considering his financial status before we proceed to fine him. . Making sure this Mahaut Gun Swinging Missionary, can afford to pay at least something.
