A woman who stole a gun and then contemplated using it to commit suicide was ordered to continue psychiatric treatment as the court fined her a total of $20 000.
Natalie Delores Onita Clarke, of Stewart Hill, St John, was back in the No. 2 Supreme Court yesterday after she had pleaded guilty earlier in the Sessions to having a .22-calibre handgun and ten rounds of .22-calibre ammunition on May 19, 2021.
She was represented by attorney Simon Clarke, while State Counsel Romario Straker appeared for the prosecution.
