7 Years For Stealing A Bike
posted (March 11, 2014)
19 year-old Eutychus Nunez, a resident of Mahogany Street, will spend 7 years in prison for robbing a 17 year-old boy of his bicycle.

The minor told police that on last week Thursday, he was riding bicycle on Princess Margaret Drive when 2 men rode up beside him. One of them begged him for a dollar, and when he refused, one of the men punched him in the face causing the minor tumble of his bike. One of the men stole his bike and his 2 assailants rode off leaving him there.

Police investigated the young man's report, which led to the bike's recover and the detention of Nunez. He was charged with robbery and harm, and he was arraigned today before Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer.

He pleaded guilty to the charges, and after careful consideration, Senior Magistrate Frazer sentenced him to 6 years in prison for the robbery and 1 year for the harm. Both sentences are to run consecutively, so he will spend 7 years in jail.
