A man who walked out of quarantine to buy a sweet drink to satisfy a craving, was jailed for six months by the District “A” Magistrates’ Court yesterday.
“This is crazy,” Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes declared as he dealt with Dean George Scott.
“I don’t know what message I would be sending if I don’t send a strong message to you because there wasn’t no really good reason for you to be doing this,” he told the Jamaican.

Scott, 49, a mason, was a guest at Crystal Beach Hotel . . . (HLE)
