Gunman on the run after jumping bail
(CNS): Ronald Ernesto Swaby (28), who was recently convicted of possessing an imitation firearm with the intent of committing an offence, has jumped bailed. Swaby was due to be sentenced this week but failed to attend the scheduled court appearance. His bail has now been revoked and police are asking the public to help them track him down.
Given his conviction for a serious criminal offence, Swaby is considered a fugitive evading the criminal justice process, so anyone who helps or harbours him is also committing a criminal offence, police said. The RCIPS will investigate anyone who assists him to evade justice and they could face jail time if convicted.
The police said Swaby should not be approached by members of the public. Anyone who sees him should call 911.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call the George Town Police Station at 949-4222 or 911 if the circumstances are time-sensitive. Anonymous tips can be provided to the RCIPS Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777, or the website.

Check Cayman Brac – pop-a-top park and new mini mart in spot bay.
Why was this man ever allowed on to the island if he’s a foreigner – should have been refused as not being conducive to the public good!
Foreigners are welcome. Convicted felons from the USA need not apply, and if they do, should be screened out 2 or 3 domestic gun violation crimes ago and denied bail.
Swaby was a prominent name in Cayman 100 years ago. Many of them of West Bay heritage also lived in Cuba, but after migrating back to Cayman mostly moved on to the USA. If he has one Caymanian grandparent then he is entitled to apply to be recognized as a Caymanian.
He’s not a foreigner. He cannot be refused.
Who says he is a foreigner? He is Caymanian
And any clue about what part of the island he’s from so we could know where to be looking and avoiding?? ffs
You’ll really believe all criminals are from the Cayman Islands and are Caymanians?
Mostly.
Pool Patrol aka casing a house.
He looks like sweet young man.
A gun charge is primary indication that he is dangerous – Why grant bail to begin with??
Somebody needs to get demoted for allowing him bail
If only it were a charge. He was on bail after convict and prior to sentencing according to the article. If that’s right that’s downright scandalous – no way was he avoiding a custodial sentence for firearms. So why bail. So he can “get his affairs in order”. Madness.
I believe the law is set so that unless it’s a capital offence eg murder, then a caymanian can be released on bail for any offence, and bail in such cases can be a simple promise to attend the next hearing, and there’s no guarantor or funds needed.
Triple the sentence of a convicted felon who jumps bail.
But before that, no bail for degenerate criminals like this induvidual nor for repeat offenders.
Is this the same Ronald Ernesto Swaby, a Hot Boyz gangmember, arrested in Tampa for a drive-by shooting in 2015?

Seems like Caymam Immigration will let all criminals into the Cayman Islands
Love it. Hot Boys. These gang leaders literally pick the most effeminate sounding names 🤣
lol wicked rap duo though
If this convicted criminal is too dangerous to be approached, WHY IS HE OUT ON BAIL? Unbelievable. Who let him out? Whoever it was needs to think about whether they are doing their job properly. Their casual attitude about bail is endangering the public.
Why do court bail hearings grant bail to everybody, including serious offenders, and prior manhunt armed and presumed dangerous flight risks? Probably left on his valid passport too! First class incompetence.
This is a real problem. Good chance this guy is gone. Was that the intention? Let him run to Honduras or wherever and cross him off the “to do list”?
