ST CATHERINE, Jamaica — Four men charged with unlawful possession of a goat they were reportedly caught transporting in a motorcar, had their bails extended when they appeared in the Spanish Town Resident Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.
Bernard Townsend, Chavaughn Panton, Oshane Forbes and Junior Graham all pleaded not guilty to the charge.
It is alleged that a motor car in which the quartet were travelling was stopped in St Catherine and the goat taken from it.
Prior to their bail being extended, Panton told the court that he is the owner of the goat.
“Where you get the goat?” Resident Magistrate Horace Mitchell asked.
“Christiana,” Panton responded.
The investigating officer told the court that when he went to Christiana he saw an open field with several other goats.
“Where is the goat?” Mitchell asked; a query that sent the court into laughter.
The four are to return to court April 7 when the investigation of the matter is expected to be completed.
