An irate woman who was dumped by her former lover will have to pay a $30,000 fine or face one month in jail after being sentenced by Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton yesterday for torching his fence and gate.
Marcy Andrews pleaded guilty to a charge of damage to property when she made her appearance at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court. It was alleged that on July 29 at East La Penitence, the woman lit fire to the gate and fence belonging to Colin Simmons.
Prosecutor Simone Payne said that the defendant and the victim were once involved in a common-law relationship. On the day of the incident, around 02:30hrs, the victim Simmons awoke and looked through his bedroom window and noticed that his fence and gate were on fire. Simmons later saw the defendant standing at his gate.
The victim later flagged down a passing police patrol vehicle and the defendant was subsequently arrested and later charged. When asked by the court, Andrews said she had nothing to say.
Simmons, however, disclosed that he decided to separate from his former partner after learning she was involved with drugs.
He asked that she be given counseling since imprisonment would be of no assistance.
The court, however, declared its intention to have the woman pay a fine.
