Breyer, 73-year-old, wife Joanna and guests were confronted by the robber around 9 PM EST Thursday in the home Breyer owns on the Caribbean island, spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said. The intruder took about $1,000 in cash and no one was hurt, Arberg said.
She said the robbery was reported to local authorities, but she did not know if an arrest has been made. The U.S. Marshals Service is assisting local authorities and the Supreme Court Police with the investigation, Marshals Service spokesman Jeff Carter said.
Breyer reported on his most recent annual disclosure in June that property he owns on Nevis is worth between $100,000 and $250,000.
It’s not a laughing matter but is that the definition of poetic justice?
