Man fined $10,000 for using indecent language
…my worship when I hungry I get frustrated
Colin John Toppin was on Wednesday fined $10,000 with an alternative of twenty days in prison by Magistrate Geeta Chandan-Edmond, after he pleaded guilty to the use indecent language.
The 27-year-old man, who was unrepresented, explained to the Magistrate that his actions were as a result of him being hungry.
“My worship I was very hungry that morning and when I am hungry I does get frustrated,” Toppin blurted out in the courtroom.
According to the prosecutor, on Thursday October 4, at the Stabroek Market, Toppin was at a stand pipe when Bernadette King allegedly washed her hands over his bucket of water.
As a result the defendant became annoyed and verbally abused King, using indecent language.
After the altercation, King visited the City Constabulary office nearby and made a report. Toppin was subsequently arrested and placed before the court.
Matters took a slight twist on Wednesday when Toppin explained to Magistrate Chandan-Edmond that he was unable to pay the $10,000.
He was served with the option of depositing $5,000 and was given up to November 30, to pay the remainder.
