Augustus Fontaine - Dunbar Village Suspect Arrested... For Something Else

Well if you want to know what Augustus Fontaine looks like, you can head on over to the Palm Beach Post for his mug shot.

As you will recall, only 4 of up to 10 gang rapists were arrested in the Dunbar Village hate crime against humanity. Fontaine was one of two additional people identified, but not arrested. Police say he wasn't arrested because they could not get a DNA match. So what happened to the days when we convicted people without DNA?

So Fontaine has not been arrested for the Dunbar Village attack, but for charges related to an auto theft:

Augustus Fontaine, who at least one other young man convicted in the savage attack has testified was present at the scene, was picked up by police in late August. He is charged with resisting an officer without violence, which violated the terms of his probation.

Fontaine of West Palm Beach pleaded guilty last year in an auto theft case where, according to a court record, he fled from police in a high-speed chase. He ultimately crashed the car and ran away on foot. Fontaine pleaded guilty to various charges and was sentenced to five years probation.

On the very same day Dunbar co-defendant Avion Lawson was in court testifying about the assault and identifying "Gus" Fontaine as being present, Fontaine was arrested on the alleged violation of probation. Palm Beach Post

So where in the world is Melvin Young, the other person identified, but not arrested in the attack?

From the other reports I've read, the police had Melvin Young and Fontaine in custody before because they collected DNA samples from them and compared them with the samples found at the crime scene.

Unfortunately, niether of them matched. It could have very well been MORE than 10.

so when they say "no DNA match", do they mean no match in terms of sexual assault or no match in terms of no human material left at the crime scene at all, i.e., blood, saliva, semen, body oils, etc?

Geez! You mean the others may get away with this, but go to jail for other unrelated crimes? :( :(

you would think that a person would take the opportunity that he possibly got away with another crime to change but not that fool. If they don't go down for Dunbar they will go down for something. Dead or in jail they will get theirs

Has the press in Florida been following this case?

Sigh. Justice delayed again (?).

This is off topic, but please see the story of Mitrice Richardson if you have not read of her. She is missing in L.A. after being released by the LA sheriffs detained from 10pm to around 1:30am alone to walk.http://www.lasentinel.net/The-Disappearance-of-Mitrice-Richardson.html

You're right that they will go down, but who will they take down with them? I feel sorry for the future victims of their criminal activities.
