“Ow nah madam, give meh lil community service nah man,” a man who allegedly stole two cases of empty bottles beseeched Magistrate Nyasha Williams-Hatmin yesterday.

Terry Johnson of Fourth Street, La Penitence, Georgetown pleaded not guilty to a charge of simple larceny when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.

It is alleged that on November 15 at Fourth Street, La Penitence Johnson stole two cases of drink bottles worth $2,000, property of Mahendra Balram.

Johnson told the magistrate that he wanted community service or “something like that” because he couldn’t manage the “hassle of moving from one courtroom to the other”. However, he was placed on $15,000 bail.
The accused will have to appear in Court One on December 3.
