Thief to be sentenced next month

Convicted thief Jason Renaldo Ashton is set to reappear before Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes next month to find out his fate.

The 35-year-old mechanic from Medford Land, St Matthias, Christ Church pleaded guilty before the No. 1 District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court to stealing $2 200 belonging to Elsa Reid, as well as a timing belt, a timing belt tensioner, three oil seals, and two cylinder head rubbers totaling $140.44, between February 24 and 27 this year.

He also admitted to stealing $1 200 belonging to Angela Ifill between February 28 and March 3.

Ashton will be sentenced on May 4 when he reappears before Weekes.

His legal troubles do not end there, however, as he is also set to appear before the No. 2 District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court on May 3 in connection with assaulting police officers.

It is alleged that on April 12, 2022, he assaulted Police Constables Kevin Mayers and Oshea Kellman in the execution of their duties.

Ashton has pleaded not guilty to both charges.
