Fourth suspect arrested in brutal Allston kidnapping
Booking photo
Domonic Campbell, 20, of Cambridge, was arrested today on a variety of charges, including arson and assault with intent to murder in a failed kidnapping on Sunday.
Police charge that Campbell and three women - Cheerley Chevalier of Taunton, Farrah Girault of Roxbury and Jill Jaques of Allston - kidnapped a Brighton man, beat him until he bled from his eyes, tried to extort $5,000 in ransom from his brother by threatening to shoot him in the head and then tried to burn down the 118 Glenville Ave. apartment in which they were holding him.
According to the Suffolk County DA's office:
Boston Police detectives began efforts to track the victim's cell phone, which had been used to make the ransom demand. At the same time, they also followed members of the victim's family, who had raised $4,280 in ransom money were instructed to make their way to the Dudley MBTA station. They were told to put the money in a white envelope and call the victim's cell phone for further instructions.
The victim's brother followed those instructions and was told to walk up Vine Street while remaining on the phone. As he did so, a gray 2003 Mercedes Benz registered to Girault rolled up next to him, took the envelope, and left the area.
Girault in 2004.
Prosecutors say more people could be arrested - the victim told investigators he was beaten by two men.
Campbell pleaded innocent at arraignment today in Brighton District Court, was ordered held in lieu of $50,000 bail. The other three pleaded innocent on June 3, held in lieu of between $25,000 and $50,000 bail.

This Farrah? This Cheerley?
LinkedIn.com lists a Farrah Girault, in the Greater Boston Area, as a Customer Service Rep at Key Bank.
Something called NamesDatabase.com lists Cheerley Chevalier as a 1996 grad from St. Clare Central High School in Roslindale.
I'm thinking so
I got the photo from this page.
From her blackplanet.com page
Sept18th 2003. Got rid of all negative vibes in my life and people.
Yep, the people she got together with for last Sunday's kidnapping and beating are just the sweetest, most loving folks you could ever want to meet. The vibe in the car when they drove over to pick up the ransom was just... cosmic!
I don't understand
Why the hell would you go through all that trouble for $5,000?
If I'm going to kidnap someone, I'm going to make sure it's someone that can get enough cash together that I can disappear for 6 months at least.
Domonic?
Just once I'd like to see some innovation at something other than a clever new spelling of a name. What's next, Jahn? Jymmi? Pytr? What a waste of oxygen.
African-American names
Maybe you're not familiar with the historical and cultural significance of many African-Americans giving their children unique names.
As I'm sure you're aware, many Americans of African origin arrived here against their will and were stripped of their cultural identities and their names. They were forced to take on names that didn't reflect who they were related to or where they came from. Because of this, it's important to many African-Americans that their children have unique names that were distinctly chosen for them by their families. This might be reflected in unique spellings of common names, or names that are a combination of two or more relatives' names (which often also results in a name that's similar to a common name, but not quite), or a name that's invented from prefixes and suffixes that convey a namesake and/or a meaning that is important to the family. For many African-American families, it's really important that a child's name conveys uniqueness and identity and a sense of being chosen specifically by that family for that child.
African American names
With all due respect, if as much effort went into providing a two-parent family for the child as went into inventing a unique name, the child's identity would develop just fine, thanks. Like everyone but Native Americans, my forebears came from someplace else. They assimilated into America. If a child is taught that they are different from everyone else, ("special" if you will), don't be surprised when they develop an entitlement mentality. (And hasn't that been working out well lately?)There are plenty of successful "John Smith"s and "Mary Johnson"s out there.It's not the name but the nurturing people who bestowed it, IMHO.
Bingo!
I've got five "racist bingo" squares marked on this one!
How many stereotypes can you cram in to a single "with all due respect" screed?
Different from everyone else
Lots of Americans are taught that they are also part of groups that are 'different from everyone else'. Jews and Mormons come to mind right away, but I'm sure there are plenty of others.
African American names
With all due respect returned to you Poster...Judgement comes off as ignorance extremely easily when you are unaware and uninformed.
In regard to the name spelling, as you said the name is not really what gets you anywhere misunderstood as it can be. So why comment on the spelling? Oprah for example, who needs no defending on her acheivements, with a name like that, whos actual name was ORPAH which comes from the bible, but being born in the south in the 50's the people who were quite similiar in mentality to your self could care less about how her name was spelled on her birth certificate, and history was still made. Look it up.
Anyway Cheerley is actually spelled that way because she is of Haitian Descent both parents being born there.
In regard to and I chuckle as I type, the two parent homes comment. Both individuals were raised in two parent homes, in homes. Homes that they owned in fact and parents or both are still together in their nice suburbian homes. I went to school with both girls and went to both houses. So iniformed.
I am not here to defend the company that we keep because it can get you in trouble as they I am sure are understanding now.
But the smugness of someone who knows, truly and utterly null and nothing, of either individual. My my my please understand you can not put negativity out into the universe and not expect it to circle the earth. Peace Anon.
Dare I say
The grammar might also be what really gets you somewhere misunderstood as it can be?
Yet and still you
Yet and still you understood. Thank you for reading and replying. Peace to you.
My apologies, I really
My apologies, I really thought that the name Cheerley was in question as that would have probably been a justified inquiry... But DOMONIC! That is the most outlandish, and Outrages name that I have seen in my entire existence on this planet maybe that is why i totally missed it in my reading your posts! Imagine using an O instead of the I. What was his single mother thinking.... Oh but wait you can easily google the name to become (my favorite word) informed on what the name really is... there is an athlete and a play wrighter with the same spelling of a name. Go figure, maybe they were raised in single parent homes too.

These girls had no clue what was going on...
The sweetest girls ever that got duked into a crazy crime! Nobody should believe that those girls were involved...Story is totally fabricated!
You are Stupid too!!!!
Like i said before they are a waist of space... they NEED to pay!!!
What does their waist size have to do with this?
Spare Tire?
="Waist of air"?
Poor Bibendum! He is a waist of air! Will he have to re-tire?
Maybe they're loosing weight
...
You are stupid too... they
You are stupid too... they are a waist of space, they need to pay!!!
Another defender, at least of Girault and Chevalier
Cedric St. Val forwards a copy of a note he sent to Jessica Van Sack, the Herald reporter who first detailed the allegations:
Yeah, the Boston cops have
Yeah, the Boston cops have nothing better to do than to sweep up "sweet" people in dragnets. Never ceases to amaze me how many victims of circumstance wind up in Boston Municipal Court, with their mothers protesting their innocence. It's getting so you can't party at 4AM without people getting the wrong idea....
Herald's reporting? Or police press release?
It looks to me like the Herald simply repeated the facts as officially alleged by the police or the DA. In what way did Jessica Van Sack commit a 'modern day lynching' by reporting them?
what passes for intellectual honesty in Boston
Criticism BY a conservative = a "screed"
Criticism OF a "progressive" = "a modern day lynching"
OH PLEASE!!!!
You are completely naive about those girls!!! Just because they come from a good family does not mean that they are. These girls lived their own lives and picked up bad habits that put them in this situation in the 1st place. I think they should be punished to fullest capacity anyone can get punished, maybe hold them against there will and beat them. These girls are artificially sweet in your face, just face it they are scum... no good... waist of air and should be locked up FOREVER!!!
Who cares if you watched them grow up and become "mature women"; there is nothing mature about their actions.
Innocent does not fit them... innocent does not go and pick up the ransom money. They already destroyed their lives by thinking that they can really get away with something like that!! They ruined their own names! Like I said they need to pay!!!!
Legally, they are innocent
Innocent until proven guilty.
Do not cast Stones
"He who is whithout sin cast the first stone"
All of you who are casting judgement on these individuals , need to tho check yourself. You are are not perfect and not because you read it in the papers or see it on the news means that it is true.
Are any of you familiar with the Marlon Passley case? He was arrested and found guilty of a crime he sure never did commit. The news made him out to be the worst. He was also found guilty and was sentenced to Life in Prison... BUT because there is a GOD, yes there is a GOD, after 5 years into his sentence, they released him because someone confest to the same crime. It turned out that the real shooter was found guilty of the said crime but got a much lesser term, than what the innocent man got.
I guess what I am trying to say is there are three sides to every story and some where in there sits the truth. Let it be that these people are innocent until proven and even then let God be the ultimate judge.
Crimes committed in these times has nothing to do with the parents. Each person has a mind of their own. How sure are you that the ladies involved are innocent or even guilty for that matter? The same would go for Domonic, how do you know... Unless you where there or he tells you he was guilty. Let me tell you something, all you have to do if you know any of these people is to pray for them, because you never know if you or your child or a family member could be caught up in such situation, and then, what are you going to say, knowing that you did your best in bringing them up in the right way and knowing that they did not commit such a crime but the law said they did? How would you feel if you are being dragged through the mud for something you didn't do, which was proven later? After all Domonic is the youngest of the group arrested, so how sure are you that the others didn't have any influence over him. How are you sure that he was even there? Maybe he just knew these people just the same but have no link to the crime committed.
To sum it up God does not not deal with anyone unfair. So leave the judging upto God, for we all will have our day.
As for you who think there is something wrong with the spelling of the name (DOMONIC), maybe you should check yours, because the last time I checked "waist of air" Hmmmmm, shouldn't it be "waste of air".
Waist:the part of the body in humans between the ribs and the hips, usually the narrowest part of the torso.
Waste:useless consumption or expenditure; use without adequate return.
So guess what, pick the beam out of your own eyes.....
Nevertheless, you are all in my prayers and I am sure you are in the prayers of that single Mom you are trying so hard to bash.
Oh, no you don't
Fortunately, we don't have to wait for Judgment Day for these people to be judged. That's why we have courts.
Unfortunately You Are Right
Unfortunately you are right. Leave it up to the courts.Yeah, as if they are always right. At the same time lets hope the detectives on the case take time out to really investigate this thing properly. As I have said before many innocent people have been comdemned and judged because......................
After-all it's election time!
Still I say cast no stone
Perhaps you don't realize
That judges in Massachusetts aren't elected, so election time isn't going to be that much of a factor.
But you propose no alternative solution beyond leaving it all in God's hands. Doesn't do much good for the guy who was tied up and beaten until his eyes bled, not in this life, at any rate (and no, I'm not saying that means the people in this case are guilty, but let's not forget there was a victim here, as well, unless you're suggesting the cops made that up as well).
I know
Judges are not elected, of which I was not referring to. And election time won't be that much of a factor, but it will be of some factor. Everything is politics and recognition. that's why often times the innocent gets sent away.
And where do you get your thoughts? Why would I say the cops made up the incident? I am saying that hopefully they take the time in gathering the evidence properly and make their story real according to the evidence and be sure that they have the right people for this. As with the Marlon Passley case they did make the the innocent look and went in guilty, I should know I was in that court room every day and none of this would have happened if they (detectives) did well in gathering evidence.And come time for the vistims family to get justice reallyserved was like a slap in the face because of the sentence the real killer got. (Check it out) So...........to prevent another mishap like this where the innocent goes to prison and then later found to be arrested wrongfully , just do the job right the first time, with patience. But it is still not right for anyone to be deemed guilty before innocent.
Do you think the cops made up the story? Because I sure didn't! My heart goes out tho the victim too, because it could have you or me in his shoe, and that's why I want you and ayone else that reads this know and understand that the detectives need to take the time out and make certain of their alligations and that they have solid proof of who were involved.
I know
that Judges are appointed, why do you think I was talking about the judges. Everthing is politics, elcetion won't be much of a factor but it will be of some factor.
And where do you get your thoughts from? Why would I think the cops made up that incident? They might make up the evidence to build their story , but no not the actuall incident. I am not saying that God's judgement is the only alternative, because yes we do have a court system. But how often do you see an innocent person goes to prison for a crime they did not commit? Do you think the jurors just take a look at them and just find them guilty. I think not. So, all I am saying is that the detectives on the case should gather their evidence properly and make sure they stick as close to the truth as possible, because it will be the same felling for the victims family all over agian as with the Marlon Passley ase where the real killer did not get much time for such a murderous crime. Yet the one that had nothing to do with case was given life in prison. All this would have been avoided if the detectives did their job right from the start.I know about this case I was in court every day for it. So don't think for a minute I don't think about the victim and his family. But do you want to see someone innocent go to prison? Do you think the cops made up the story?
At the end of the day it's not about you or I, but it's about the people involved and the assumptions made. Unless you work for the courts , be a juror or a detective on this case, don't act like you know everything. Or if you do, you should know the whole system is corrupted. Yes and it is politics whether you want to admit it or not.
It dont matter
Who cares how im spelling it... I know these girls are guilty, the man they kidnapped was my cousin and I got the REAL version on these girls... And it aint close to what people want to think. They are scum and should pay for their actions. That single mom should think before getting herself in something that WILL put her in jail and get her child taken from her... Good job MOM!!! Dumb ass!!!!
I hope Farrah was wearing
I hope Farrah was wearing her jiffy pop hat when she made drop.
