The man accused of kicking his child’s grandmother in the chest — an injury that allegedly killed her two days later — has violated parole six times, prosecutors said yesterday.
But according to officials at Kaua‘i Correctional Center, that doesn’t mean he’s behind bars.
Allegations against the man, Shane Nevada Duncan, 28, of Kapa‘a, now include violating temporary restraining orders intended to prevent him from contacting the mother of his child, Jamie Mundon. Duncan is facing manslaughter charges for an altercation he allegedly had May 9 with Jamie Mundon’s mother, Marie “Annette” Mundon.
Though he was released on $100,000 bail on several conditions, Duncan has since violated those conditions six times, Prosecuting Attorney Craig DeCosta said.
Police records show the most recent warrant against Duncan was issued Sept. 13, after he allegedly continued to try to make contact with Jamie Mundon and other family members.
The initial warrant in the case was issued May 10 based on third-degree assault charges he faced for allegedly hitting and kicking Annette Mundon while she was holding her granddaughter.
When Mundon died later that week in the hospital, Duncan was booked on charges of family abuse, manslaughter, and second-degree unlawful imprisonment.
The latter of those amended charges stem from accusations that Duncan had refused to let Jamie Mundon leave the house for roughly 24 hours after allegedly assaulting her mother. It wasn’t until Jamie’s father had called to say her mother had taken a turn for the worse at Wilcox Hospital that he allowed her to go, according to the complaint.
Jamie Mundon and Duncan have two children together, according to Mundon’s other daughter, Sheri Carveiro.
Court documents state the altercation between Duncan and the Mundons began when Duncan was trying to take his children to see his father, who had just been released from prison.
Electronic court records show Duncan has an extensive violent history, which includes family abuse charges for which he was found guilty in 2002 and 2003.
Roughly 2 1/2 years before she died, Annette Mundon had filed a motion for a temporary restraining order against Duncan, on Jan. 11, 2005. She represented herself in the case.
That motion was denied, as was an injunction against harassment. An electronic records search did not show which judge denied her request.
Just how effective the temporary restraining orders that were granted against Duncan were remains unclear, as according to May 22 court minutes summarizing a temporary restraining order hearing, the system showed a protective order was already supposed to be in effect.
Duncan is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 23 in connection with the latest charges stemming from harassing Jamie Mundon and violating his parole.
DeCosta said yesterday his department was working on filing charges to have Duncan’s probation revoked.
