ALEXIS Lindy-Fraser, 42, of Lot 56 Section ‘B’ Non Pariel, was fined $15,000 with the alternative of 20 days imprisonment for lighting a fire to the annoyance of others.
She pleaded guilty to the offence before Magistrate Zamilla Ally at Cove and John Court, also on East Coast Demerara.
Lindy-Fraser admitted starting the blaze that annoyed her neighbour, Dr. Azad Hussein.
Police Prosecutor Clement Roberts said investigations revealed that the defendant lit the flames on September 5 when the virtual compliant was not at home but, when he returned, he made a report.
However, the defendant told the court she was just trying to keep her neighbourhood clear of some bramble that was left by another neighbour.
