MOTORIST TO SPEND 7 DAYS IN JAIL

The man who was caught while attempting to evade Police officers over the weekend will spend the next 7 days in at Her Majesty’s Prison.

19 year old Montel Barton of Point appeared in court on Monday and was convicted on three charges.

Barton was sentenced to 7 days in Prison on Driving without a Licence, and another 7 days for dangerous driving. The sentences will run concurrently. He was also fined $2500 for driving without insurance.

Meanwhile, 20 year old Melvin King Jr of Herbert’s who rented the vehicle for Barton, was fined $1000 dollars and his licence has been suspended for 3 months.

On Saturday night, Barton, who was driving a Toyota Vitz, attempted to elude law enforcers after allegedly committing a traffic infraction.

The driver crashed into the back of another vehicle on Independence Drive, while a bus driver crashed into a tree in a desperate attempt to avoid a head-on collision with the Vitz.
