ST CATHERINE, Jamaica — A woman, who pleaded guilty to hitting another with a stone, was slapped with a $50,000 fine when she appeared in the Spanish Town Resident Magistrate Court.

Tisa McPherson was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty to a charge of unlawful wounding.

Allegations are that on December 7 the complainant was on her way home when an argument developed with the accused. A stone was used to hit the complainant.

The court was not told the reason for the argument or the location where the incident occurred.

McPherson is to serve six months behind bars if the fine isn’t paid.
