A 57-year old man last Saturday who allegedly used his cell phone while driving his car PJJ 821 found himself before Magistrate Ann Mc Lennon

The police at Linden had charged Wesley Winfield of 922 Victory Valley, Wismar Linden saying he committed the offence on Greenheart Street, Mackenzie Linden. Winfield now knows how much it can cost for using his cell phone while driving and this must be considered prohibitive, compared to the low rates he obviously now enjoys from the cell phone service providers. He was fined $75,000 with an alternative of 14 days imprisonment after pleading guilty to the charge before Magistrate Ann Mc Lennon yesterday at the Christianburg Magistrate’s Court. (Joe Chapman)
