Article by May 8, 2021
Coast Guard Private Shane Coulthrust pleaded for leniency late Friday night after a military tribunal found him guilty of two of the nine charges he faced during his court-martial.
But the sentence to be imposed was not immediately known as the three-member panel of Lieutenant Commander Fernella Cordle, Lieutenant Commander Robert Morris and Captain Randolph Clarke were locked in deliberations on Private Coulthrust’s fate at the Barbados Defence Force’s St Ann’s Fort headquarters after 11 p.m.
Earlier, after deliberating for over three hours, the panel returned at 8:03 p.m. and found the 33-year-old Coulthrust guilty of going off course without authorization and using his personal cell phone while on duty on April 19, 2019, in contravention of the Coast Guard’s Standing Orders.
