Man Admits Threatening Ex-Girlfriend & Dog

September 19, 2013

A 30-year-old man appeared in Magistrates Court this morning [Sept 19] where he pleaded guilty to threatening his ex-girlfriend and her dog.

Peter Nentwig was fined $1,300 and ordered to pay $700 in damages after his two guilty pleas were accepted  by Senior Magistrate Archie Warner.

Nentwig admitted unlawfully damaging a ‘boom-box’ and front door after he forced his way into his ex-girlfriends Warwick residence in the early hours of the morning on 4th August this year.

He also admitted threatening her by telling her: “If you call the Police, I’ll come back in three months and make burn your house down and make sure you and Bentley are in it.” [Bentley is her pet dog.]

Nentwig also pleaded not guilty to a charge of unlawfully assaulting his ex-girlfriend. The Crown Prosecutor said that in light of the two pleas of guilty, the Crown would not offer any evidence on that charge.

Nentwig’s lawyer, Saul Dismont, told the Senior Magistrate that Nentwig had been drinking and had gone to his ex-girlfriend’s house after he had heard that she was going out with another man.

In handing down the sentence, the Senior Magistrate rejected the lawyer’s suggestion that Nentwig receive a Conditional Discharge.

    • rugbychick says:

      A word of general advice to the men out there. Girls who don’t have close girlfriends or can’t get along with other girls are the ones to avoid.

      • I Am Just Saying says:

        speak for yaself, been with my husband for 20 years and because i have no “close girlfriends” (and i prefer male company to female company) i have not had to worry about my “close girlfriends” sleeping with him or tryna stab me in the back! the key is RESPECT! You can reply and say what you will but the advice to men should have been learn to hold ya liquor and if she left leave her gone if you left stay gone…if she is seeing someone new let him deal with the headaches unless of course you were the problem to begin with …in that case seek counseling!

    • WakeUp says:

      A bet you a million dollars you would never say that to his face so you de punk , and he can get plenty of women trust me

      • Fed up says:

        You wouldn’t think so!

      • Come Correct says:

        Why not? Is he unbeatable? Sounds to me like he threatens people that don’t have the muscular structure of a male. Sounds to me like he needs to boost his self-esteem by preying on people smaller that him. You know what humbles that mentality? Believe it or not, reconstructive surgery. But hey, who are we to judge, defend you punk ass boys actions all you like, one day he’ll threaten the wrong girl and someone will disfigure his face.

        • WakeUp says:

          That statement proves you surely do not know him, like I said you another internet coward and would never say it to his face. You would be the one in need of reconstructive surgery

          • hmm says:

          • Come Correct says:

            Already had it, defending someone smaller than myself against someone larger than myself. Please, tell me again what I would or wouldn’t do. I made a promise to myself that day that it would never happen again, and I’ve kept it. I also sure as hell don’t need to know any woman beaters and I’ve come across my fair share of dumb b****es. It is YOUR friend that is the coward. I’m here all day every day, let me know when ya boy wants to feel like a b****.

  7. mind ya business says:

    All you ppl with your b.s opinions..you don’t know what happened and are so quickly to pass judgement..he’s a great dude and just happened to get involved with a *****,***** ****** woman..

    • Some dogs are better than a lot of ppl says:

      I agree with you, many of us don’t know what happened, the full story or even these people BUT to show up at someone’s home in the early hours under the influence, threatening them and their dog!

      He’s a friend of yours? Tell him to man up, recognize when he has had enough to drink, and to walk away from toxic people.

    • agreed says:

      …not saying he should have done what he did….but he’s a good guy…they should have just broken up ages ago. he deserves way better than her anyway…hope he gets some ice cream now and no more frozen yogurt.

  11. Nok says:

What happen to take you licks and walk away like a man.STOP the BS ok these guys act like they can’t get any other leg. Its a shortage of man not woman get my point.Have a nice day stop defending BS.

    • WakeUp says:

      • for real says:

        P, be thankful you don’t have to deal with this señorita’s drama anymore. Better things on the horizon for you.

  12. Nok says:

    mind ya business and he didn’t think she was a piece of whatever when he broke into her house and threaten her and her dog so your opinion does matter either.LOL

    • WakeUp says:

      He did not break into her house , They both used to show up unannounced to each others homes at those hours. Again you just a little punk b*t*h who dont know the story and need to shut ya mouth before you bite off more than you can chew

      • OG says:

        You sound like a coward coming on here with threats of violence. Grow up little man someone like you would have been praying to me like a god when I was in Casemates.

  13. E$ says:

    Stop talking bad bout my bra. He a good guy truly, stay up P….!

    • Stop list says:

      Ya bra is a fool…..and now with a conviction he may not be able to travel to USA. Why would you give up your travel for ya X girl who’s moved on with her life. P must mean p_ $$y which he’s not getting.

      • haha says:

        haha u must be de bestie of de X girl. go make sum cupcakes wit her *** *** or sumthin and lay down. u wouldn’t say any of dat to his face, none of u lot. internet tough guys. If he truly was a bad person I’d be de first person to say, but it aint true, yeah he made a mistake at least he admitted it like a man.

        • Come Correct says:

          No, men do not threaten women. Cowards do. It takes a man to walk away…from a situation, not walk away from a child like you who clearly never had a MAN to look up to. I do, he’s a MAN of INTEGRITY, judging by what you posted above you couldn’t spell it looking at it.

          • haha says:

            I look up to a father figure thank you. People make threats all the time to women, politicians, men, etc. Did he ACT on it? NO. Did he make a threat, YES, and guess what he admitted he was wrong in court. Lot’s of things happen when your drunk as hell, deep down inside he never meant that. There’s also a lot of things that didn’t come out in this report, making it like he’s the ONLY ONE in the wrong, which really isn’t true. If you don’t know him or about the true details surrouding this case then STFU.

            • keepin it real says:

              What didn’t come out in this report? Lol let’s not go there. I hear he didn’t plead guilty! His lawyer changed his clients plea for him! Hmmm clearly that means the accused was lying in Court? No?

              Care to continue?

              Where was his evidence against her? Oh there was none. My bad Lol cause if there was any more to this story I’m pretty sure the reporter would have caught that and typed it! Stop dissing BERNEWS PN!!! ;)

            • Come Correct says:

              Only a fool makes idle threats. Never, not once have I.ever heard of or witnessed my father threaten my mother or any female for that matter. There was a time an X and I had an argument, I went to walk away and she grabbed me, being a student of martial arts I instinctively did an escape and accidently hit her in the face, not hard at all, but I instinctively wrapped my arms around her and held her close and apologized to no end. Your b**** threatened her life. Admitting it.in court isn’t manning up, it’s playing b**** in front of a man that has your life wrapped around his finger. Integrity is when you show moral fibre without feeling forced to do so. You and your b**** would do well to learn that.

        • Y'all says:

          What the hell are sum cupcakes???

    • WakeUp says:

      straight up my boy for life , a really good heart

  14. AllSpeculations says:

    They have not been together for a while and he has threatened to hurt her and is obssessively jealous of anyone in her life- even the dog!! sounds to me like he’s got some mental and emotional issues he needs to deal with…this happens too much on this island. the justice system doesn’t take it as seriously as they should as he deserved more than just a fine.

  15. Nuffin but da Truth says:

    ya bra…lmfao…what size 28c cup!

  16. big girl says:

    when are the courts, police and everyone involved going to take these situations more seriously. he will do it again of course as its not the first time. Let’s just hope that next time when he appears in court the female still has her life as the victim does. I bet I can guess which commentor is the accused!

    Sad that such a strong woman was stripped of her Liberty because of a straight up a******.

    to the Friends of this offender next time you have your friends back make sure you have all the facts and not just his side of the story which clearly is a sick person version.

    He may need to revisit MAWI – Lol ain’t that where people that are jealous of dogs belong!?

    And although he received a slap on the wrist I’m pretty sure the worst punishment for a guy like him is knowing that we are all talking about him Lol we see you stalker. Lol and we are talking about you big time Peter!

  17. and what says:

    Let this die here and now before something really happens..its done!!!let it rest.. **** and peter move on with your lives..I’m sure no one wishes harm to the other.let it die now and move on..case closed..all you ppl are just gonna create more drama on this small a** island..pls let them both make peace with this..

  18. and what says:

    And if u must comment at least have the b@lls to do so with your true name..

  19. Pastor Syl Hayward says:

    So! Signing in with my true name. Willing to provide address and phone number too. Does this now mean that my life and home are in danger? When people can try and excuse threats to harm a person and burn down their home, specifying that they AND their dog are inside while the house is burning, and state that these threats are OK because people are threatened “all the time” – who knows, maybe my life and my home ARE now in danger.

    Threats are not acceptable and they are a crime. That is why people can be taken to court after uttering a threat. Just because it “happens all the time” doesn’t make it right. Men molest children “all the time” and that isn’t right either. Just because it happens, doesn’t make it right, good, or even acceptable.

    Sadly, there aren’t enough real men around to show boys what a “real man” is and does. Real men don’t threaten women and children. Real men don’t need to have other people be afraid of them in order to feel manly. They know who and what they are within themselves.

    Here’s to more real men who step up to the plate!

    • Y'all says:

      Why is it always the responisbility of the ‘father figure’ to raise their sons correctly? Moms can do that. Just lack of parenting is what it is.

      If my son ever was disrespectful or rude to me, you bet I would cut his ass just like I used to get mine cut!!!

    Hello Paster Syl.

    THANK YOU.

    Finally we have sensible text that puts all the above rhetoric to bed.

    “AMEN”
