Well-known attorney-at-law and former talk show host, Antonnette Haughton-Cardenas, has been summoned before the Yallahs Resident Magistrate's Court to answer to three counts of fraudulent conversion.
This was confirmed yesterday by a spokesperson at the Constabulary Communication Network, who disclosed that she will appear in court on Friday, May 30.
"She was served with the three summonses last Friday at the Supreme Court in down-town Kingston where I saw her," said Detective Sergeant Bertland Reynolds when contacted yesterday afternoon.
Since last week, The Gleaner has left several messages at the attorney-at-law's Kingston office. An employee at the office said the messages were delivered to the Haughton-Cardenas but, up to yesterday, The Gleaner was yet to get a response.
Allegations are that Haugh-ton-Cardenas fraudulently converted $50,000, entrusted to her by an individual, to her own use and benefit.
According to the police, pending the investigations, Haughton-Cardenas could be slapped with additional charges.
