Barbuda Council member held in US ‘will receive appropriate medical care’
A Barbuda Council member being held in a US penitentiary after a violent incident apparently triggered by a mental breakdown will have access to appropriate medical staff.
The assurance came from the warden of the Northampton Department of Corrections in Easton, Pennsylvania, where Kendra Beazer is being held on US$500,000 bail.
The letter from David Penchishen to Antigua and Barbuda’s Ambassador to the US, Sir Ronald Sanders, has been seen by Observer.
The 28-year-old, who is on a Fulbright scholarship, is accused of assaulting several police officers, attempting to disarm one, and resisting arrest. The officers were said to be escorting him to a voluntary mental health evaluation after he reportedly displayed erratic behaviour in a Bethlehem hotel.

The investigation continues into a Saturday night crash that killed two 2019 DeSales University graduates, a DeSales senior and seriously injured another. Officials say 2019 DeSales graduate Nick White was driving the car when it left Lanark Road in Upper Saucon Township, hit a pole and burst into flames, killing White, his girlfriend Emily Kattner and DeSales senior Sean Hanczaryk. The Rev. Jim Greenfield is DeSales president and says it s impossible to understand what happened. The untimely and brutal way that these children died in that fiery car crash defies all analysis at this point. We all need to be together to work through that pain, Greenfield says. DeSales senior Brandon DiChiacchio is the only survivor of the crash and remains hospitalized. DiChiacchio, White and Hanczaryk were all teammates at one time on the DeSales baseball team.
