Crime Watch star Ian Alleyne is not someone easily put inside a box; be it a coffin, witness stand, conformed set of values or whatever else might come to mind.
Alleyne, who is Trinidad and Tobago’s most popular pseudo-crime fighter, is the only politician to get projects done before the election; he is a UNC candidate without a party card who votes where he likes. He is a maverick; an enigma.
Well, add “miracle worker” to his burgeoning CV too.
At around 11 pm on Wednesday, according to the Trinidad Guardian, Alleyne proceeded south along Stone Street, Port of Spain in a Toyota Fortuner SUV after a meeting. He did not say what his meeting was about.
But Stone Street is one of the exit roads from Woodbrook and there is often plenty business to be had there at that hour.
“I pass there every other night,” said Alleyne, who lives in Chaguanas but is at home in any constituency with an intriguing ballot box.
Maybe there are regular national security briefs in those parts. Perhaps Alleyne was under cover or about to be. Or maybe his head was ‘hotting.’
“It is rare when I drive myself but sometimes I need my privacy,” Alleyne told the Guardian.
Este Calder was driving a Volkswagen Golf east along Duke Street with Cory Bennett as company. Calder would normally have had right of way; if not for the fact that a celebrity was driving down the minor street, which automatically made it the major road.
Critics described what happened next as “an accident”; but Mr Live Wire sees only a miracle.
Verily, Calder ploughed into the back of Alleyne’s SUV.
“Mr Alleyne was driving his motor vehicle when it was suddenly hit from behind, resulting in his motor vehicle flipping,” said Prior Beharry, a former journalist who now has a higher calling as a member of Alleyne’s public relations team.
The impact was so serious that it appeared to damage the front rather than the back of Alleyne’s SUV, which flipped on to its side. And disbelieving lawmen later claimed that he was not hit from behind at all. But that was beside the point.
“The car overturn three times… I was frighten for my life,” Alleyne told the Trinidad Express.
And it takes a lot to make Alleyne wet himself.
Verily, Alleyne walked out of his Fortuner vehicle unscathed.
National Security Minister Gary Griffith, in an effort to explain the paranormal, suggested that Alleyne had Snuffleupagus for company. But eyewitness spoke of a more divine presence.
Every man dreams of having his own guardian angel; Alleyne, probably because he is not just a man but also a wealthy celebrity, had four. It is alleged.
“When I went around the car there were four women sitting on the sidewalk,” a witness told the Express, “and I recognised Mr Alleyne’s voice.”
The police turned up and Inspector Ajit Persad was amongst them.
“I never see anything like this,” said Alleyne, “it was a bad omen just following me.”
Hopefully, the ‘omen all have a good sense of humour—they were with Alleyne after all—and do not take offence at that quip from the wanna-be politician.
The lawmen administered a breathalyser; either because Alleyne was in an odd state after appearing to be the protagonist in a vehicular accident or the police wanted his angels to see what a State-approved blowjob looked like.
Alleyne, who may not have expected to be the one doing any blowing on the night, allegedly told TV6 that he hath had three martinis. But his test result was another miracle.
“The result of the test was zero,” said Alleyne, who never speaks a false word unless it is really beneficial for him to do so.
Verily, he hath turneth the wine back to water.
Inspector Persad, who arrested Alleyne a year earlier for repeatedly showing footage of a rape, knew then that he hath been confounded and could not hold him. And Stone Street had witnessed a miracle.
Be still and know that Alleyne is a performer and a celebrity. Coming soon to a Woodbrook Street near you.
Mr. Live Wire is an avid news reader who translates media reports for persons who can handle the truth. And satire. Unlike Jack Nicholson, he rarely yells.
Allen I hope is not wet panties them fellas thief…
It’s not alleged its s fact
Hahaha…. Maybe he drank 3 ZERO?
That’s what you call mash up love it
Ian the Magician. He makes people disappear.
Lol love it!
Love it!!! Reading it a second time was just as entertaining as the first!!!
I always look forward to your articles, they are very serious matters, but with such a sense of humour..keep up the great work.
We try to use humour as an equaliser for the runaway egos and also to make bad news a little more palatable… Thanks for noticing and please share any stories you like. 😉
I was so hesitant to read this piece but like all your others it was well written and so funny.
love the caption and the entire piece
Oh Lord, put ah hand…….
Heard that the 4 lovely women had hard calves
.
Don’t kill me! Kyar kyar kyarrr!
Well he always boasting about mashing up all kinda thing. Now he mash up his ride and his riders, it was alleged…
Stone Street is within the City of Port of Spain well across the boundary line from Woodbrook, there are no prostitutes there.
No one said differently Cinny. Stone Street is one of the routes to get from Woodbrook towards the highway, though. Right?
I do believe this is just the beginning of the end for Mr Ian Alleyne! His name is tarnished and he will be set adrift soon by the protagonists in charge! Just my two (2) cents!
HAHAHAHAHEHEHE! Hilarious, Miracle on Stone Street indeed!
Take win!!!! Amazingly Brilliant well written piece!
lol lol. Mr Live Wire’s imagination is very vivid indeed
Headline of the year. This was hilarious. Brightened my day.
I really am no expert on things biblical but I seem to remember a verse that says: “Out of the mouth of boobs and suckers, thou hasn’t invented truth.”
Or something like that.
Matthew 21:16( The New Jerusalem Bible)
16. “By the mouths of children, babes in arms, you have made sure of praise.”
