ST CATHERINE, Jamaica — A St Catherine man found himself in trouble with the law after he allegedly stole a pack of biscuits and four bottles of liquor from a Rubis service station in Spanish Town.
Mark Thomas, on Tuesday, pleaded not guilty to a charge of simple larceny and was remanded into custody until February 17 when his case will again be mentioned.
Thomas was arrested after workers say they saw him leaving the convenience store of the service station with two bottles of Guinness, two bottles of Dragon stout, a bottle of cooking oil and a pack of Nibble biscuits.
“How do you know that the items were removed,” Resident Magistrate Natalie Brooks asked the complainant, who responded that the man did not have a receipt and that he confessed to taking the items.
However, Thomas told the court that he bought the bottles of stout from a street vendor and the cooking oil from a wholesale.
“Do you have any other matter before the court?” the magistrate asked.
“No,” Thomas replied, before informing the court that he had previously been before the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court on a similar matter.
