Nandi Davis: ‘I’m not going to make a statement or anything’
St George’s MP won’t comment on police complaintBy Gareth FinighanGovernment MP Nandi Davis is refusing to speak publicly about reports that she is the subject of a police complaint relating to the causing of wilful damage.Media reports last week suggested the St George’s West MP had been involved in a domestic incident.This newspaper attempted to speak to Ms Davis at her Hamilton workplace yesterday afternoon. But when invited by a reporter to discuss the matter, Ms Davis declined to comment.“I’m not going to make a statement or anything,” Ms Davis said.Asked if she could say whether or not she had been charged with one count of causing wilful damage, the MP repeated that she would not comment.Repeated attempts to contact One Bermuda Alliance chairman Thad Hollis to discuss the matter were unsuccessful.And a Government spokeswoman also declined to comment.Last Friday the spokeswoman acknowledged that police were “looking into” a complaint, but made no mention of any charge.But an OBA source did state that party members were being “as supportive as possible”.In June it was reported that a series of offensive messages was sent from Ms Davis’s Facebook account.The MP claimed that her account had been hacked and that she had filed a complaint with the police.Last month a woman who claimed to have received the messages had her car vandalised, with offensive words scratched into the paintwork. The 24-year-old reported that incident to the police.Ms Davis, 26, a recently-married executive assistant, won the St George’s West seat at last December’s general election, ousting incumbent Kim Swan and beating PLP candidate Renee Anderson-Ming by just four votes.Due to the continued serial abuse by a small minority of commentators, The Royal Gazette has taken the decision to not allow any comments on this story. This is in large part due to legal ramifications which have arisen in the past.
