Accused socialite Jasmine Hartin shunned high society to carouse with working class cops in Belize at a tropical speakeasy famed for its soundproofed party rooms and marijuana-laced cognac.
The mom-of-two, who faces a manslaughter by negligence charge for killing police Superintendent Henry Jemmott, was a regular patron at the Crazy House Bar n Kitchen in San Pedro, according to owner Gene Lopez.
Lopez told DailyMail.com how care-free Hartin, 32, would buy round after round of drinks while entertaining pals with karaoke renditions of Bob Marley and the smash hit Shaggy song It Wasn t Me.
The businessman says he never witnessed the common law wife of British billionaire Lord Michael Ashcroft s son taking drugs or drinking to excess but had to tell her off on several occasions for climbing on the countertop to perform ass-shaking Caribbean dance moves.
The daughter-in-law of a politically influential British billionaire was marched out of a Belize jail and past a shrine to the senior police officer she is accused of killing for transfer to a prison known for its harsh conditions. Her face shadowed by a red hoodie, Jasmine Hartin concealed her shackled hands with a plastic bag as she was walked to a golf cart that would take her to a boat for the ride from San Pedro to Belize City where she.
Ever since Canadian ex-pat Jasmine Hartin, 32, was arrested in the early hours of Friday morning last week in San Pedro on Belize s Lord Ashcroft s shadow has hung over the tragedy.
An inmate who spent hours behind bars with Jasmine Hartin claims the socialite cursed at officers, demanded special treatment, and smiled when he applauded her for killing a Belizean cop.
Jasmine Hartin was found with blood on her hands after shooting dead a top Belizean cop with a 9mm round, according to a criminal complaint obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.
