A MAN was fined in Magistrate’s Court yesterday for breaching his curfew while on Supreme Court bail for armed robbery.

Joshua Dorsett, 19, stood before Senior Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans on two counts of violation of bail conditions.

On September 25 at 12.30am and September 27 at 11.51pm Dorsett was found outside his residence, failing to comply with his daily curfew. These bail conditions were imposed by the Supreme Court as the accused awaits trial on two armed robbery charges.

In court Dorsett pleaded guilty to the charges.

The magistrate fined the accused $1,000 for each count of bail breach. Should the accuse default on these payments he would face a six-month sentence at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
