Jamaican to be deported
Published: Wednesday | September 30, 2009
Chief Magistrate in Antigua and Barbuda, Ivan Walters, has ordered that a Jamaican man be deported after serving a one-month jail term for stealing a stereo valued at EC$59 (US$22), according to a report on www.cananews.net.
Ian Newell, who pleaded guilty to larceny, was originally sentenced to three months in prison; however, because of his guilty plea and previous good conduct, the court reduced the sentence.
The court was told that Newell entered the store in the capital St John's and stole the equipment. He was apprehended by a police officer after a chase.
