A 27-YEAR-OLD Grand Bahama man was charged in the Freeport Magistrate’s Court with violating the conditions of his bail.

Kevin Smith, Jr, appeared before the Magistrate’s Court this week for violating the conditions of his bail by failing to sign in at a Police Station. He pleaded guilty to the charge and was fined $5,000 or 18 months in prison at the Bahamas Department of Corrections.

Smith was also charged with failing to charge the electronic ankle monitoring device. He pleaded not guilty to that charge and was granted $5,000 bail with one or two suretors.

The matters were adjourned to February 21, 2023.
