CHRISTOPHER ‘Buss Rice’ Mason, with no fixed place of abode, was Tuesday fined $40,000 by Magistrate Ann McLennan for stealing two door mats. He pleaded guilty to the charge that said on Friday, April 11 at Lot 120 Public Road La Penitence, Georgetown, he stole two door mats valued $1,600, property of Nafeeza Balram.
Police Corporal Dinero Jones, prosecuting, said the virtual complainant was at a friend’s home when she saw the defendant removing the items stated in the charge and placing them in a bag.
The unrepresented defendant asked the magistrate to be lenient in her decision. If the convict defaults in paying the fine, he must serve six months in jail.
