Fined for planassing boss

The charge, laid by PC Ramdatt, was read by Magistrate Gail Gonzales. George pleaded guilty.

Prosecutor Ramdath Phillip told the court the victim reported that George attacked him with a cutlass.

George told the magistrate he went to work and was told the company was going to lay off workers.

“I went to collect money and they told me that they did not have work for me again,” George said.

He said he became angry because he was a hard worker who even worked through the night when Tropical Storm Bret hit on June 19.

“I wanted to keep my work so I beat the man.

I was wrong and I am sorry.” Gonzales told him he could not be wrong and strong.

He was given the maximum fine of $400 or in default of payment will serve three months in prison. He was also ordered to pay $1000 to the victim.
