Conductor charged for stealing “bus money”
Eon Ogle, a 50 year old minibus conductor from Agricola stood before Magistrate Judy Latchman yesterday accused of stealing $9000 from his employer Eric Quallis.
He pleaded guilty to the charge, but explained that Quallis operates the minibus of which he was the conductor and had owed him a sum of money, thus he deducted it from the day’s earnings.
“Mr. Quallis had agreed to pay $3000 a day, but he previously owed me money. On February 15 I decided to stop working with Quallis and thus I deducted my money which he had owed me.
He was driving recklessly that day so I walked off the bus with the money and I gave him the remainder of the money which I had for him the following day, but he would not collect it. I still have the money to give him”
After listening to the explanation the presiding Magistrate recorded a not guilty for the accused. Ogle was subsequently placed on $10,000 bail. He will return to court on March 10.
