Two-year suspended sentences for ex-cop

EX-POLICEMAN Kacie Maloney is now counting his lucky stars after magistrate Annett Singh handed down a two-year suspended sentence on a gun and ammunition charge.
Maloney was charged with possession of a 9mm pistol along with 19 rounds of ammunition and a component of a spent shell on October 12, 2017 at the Route 44 minibus park.
He was also charged for escaping from the Brickdam Police Station on the very day, while he was in custody on account of the aforementioned charges.

On Friday, the escaping case was dismissed due to insufficient evidence to prove that Maloney escaped from the Brickdam Police Station which was raised by attorney-at-law Dexter Todd.

In relation to the unlawful firearm with ammunition charge, the defendant following the instructions of his attorney changed his plea from not guilty to guilty after making a plea in mitigation.

The court heard the facts that there were special circumstances which ought to move the court to award Maloney a suspended sentence.
The court having accepted the plea in mitigation given on behalf of the defendant by the attorney-at-law Dexter Todd, gave the defendant two-year suspended sentences to run concurrently and also directed the defendant to pay a fine of $30,000 to attend counselling which would be conducted by a probation officer.
The defendant and his family left the court room in high spirits having being satisfied with the ruling of the court.

In 2013, Maloney was charged twice for stealing hand-held radio sets from the Brickdam Police Station.
