A BUSINESSMAN was fined in court yesterday after admitting to selling liquor at his store without a licence last week.
Senior Magistrate Kendra Kelly arraigned Ernst Jacques, 53, on charges of breaching a business licence.
Jacques was found selling alcohol at his business on January 28, despite only having a licence to sell appliances.
Authorities seized 94 cases of assorted alcoholic beverages from the establishment.
After pleading guilty, Jacques was fined $2,000 or faced the alternative of a one-month prison sentence.
The confiscated items will remain forfeited to the crown.
Sergeant Vernon Pyfrom served as the prosecutor.
