A MAN ACCUSED of pretending to be a prison officer and an agent of the Director of Public Prosecutions has ended up in jail on remand.

Cleve Anderson Hoyte, 48, of Brighton, St George, appeared in the District “C” Court on both fraud and theft charges yesterday in connection with $70 000.

He is to appear in two other courts on the charges.

When he went before the District “C” Magistrate’s Court, Hoyte was not required to plead to the indictable charges that he dishonestly obtained $800 from Felicia Thompson by falsely representing that he was a prison officer, Mark Reece, and was assisting in the bail for her son Akeem Thompson who was on remand at HMP Dodds.
