A St Elizabeth man had fortune on his side when he had his case thrown out for want of prosecution when he appeared in the Santa Cruz Resident Magistrate Court on the charge of unlawful possession of property on Tuesday.
On August 30, a public passenger vehicle was stopped and searched in Lacovia and three goat carcasses discovered. Rodian Foster, who was travelling in the vehicle, declared ownership for the meat.
Further enquiries were made by the police and Foster was subsequently charged after changing his story several times. The case was, however, thrown out after the police officer who made the discovery failed to submit his statement.
Two bench warrants were ordered for the officer who failed to report to the court for the matter, as well as another case he has before the courts.
