Perfume thief sent for evaluation

The details of how a 57-year-old man made off with a $209.99 cologne belonging to a popular Broad Street store will be given in court in three weeks before his sentencing.

But that is all based on what doctors at the Psychiatric Hospital have to say in a report requested by Magistrate Kristie Cuffy-Sargeant, about Richard Carmichael Best, of no fixed place of abode.

Best was sent to the Black Rock, St Michael institution after he appeared before the magistrate and pleaded guilty to stealing the item from Cave Shepherd on February 15.

“I want to pay back in a week,” Best said before he was given a March 9 date to return before the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court.
