A HAITIAN man was sentenced to one year in prison yesterday after he admitted to having a fraudulent voter’s ID and NIB card.
John Doe aka “Tyron Vernet”, 48, uttered a fraudulent Bahamian voter’s card in his name to Andrew Gittens on August 14, 2025.
That day, the defendant was also found with a fraudulent NIB card in his name.

The accused was sentenced to one year in prison. Upon completion of his sentence, the defendant will be handed over to immigration for deportation.
