Battered woman rescued by neighbour, steals tv

Apr 24, 2012 News

 

 

Bail was yesterday set at $80,000 for a woman who reportedly took advantage of a Good Samaritan that gave her lodging after she was allegedly thrown out by her spouse.
The woman, 20-year-old Stacy Allen, of Lot 269 ‘C’ Field Sophia, was identified as a security guard.  She appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court and pleaded not guilty to a simple larceny charge which was read by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.
The police alleged that on April 21, last, she stole from Clarence Whitehead, one television set. They added that on the day of the incident the woman was given accommodation by the complainant at his residence. Whitehead left the premises with everything intact, but when he returned home, he noticed that his television set had gone missing.
Police prosecutor Lionel Harvey said that Whitehead had inquired from the defendant whether she had any knowledge of the missing television and she replied in the negative. This led to the man making a report to the police. The police in turn conducted an investigation which led to Allen’s arrest. She was subsequently charged for the offence.
The victim told the court that the defendant lived a short distance from his home with a male companion. He continued that a misunderstanding occurred between the two and a neighbour came and asked him to give the woman a night’s lodging since her spouse had reportedly put her out.
The man said that he agreed, and the woman was welcomed in his home.
The prosecutor did not object to bail. He requested that a large bail sum be given to the defendant to ensure her return.
Allen was ordered to report to the East La Penitence Police Station every Friday at 6:00pm as a condition of her bail. She was also ordered not to return to the victim’s residence and to return to court on April 30.
