42 year-old Jason Wade, a resident of St. Matthew's Village, is spending the first night of a 2 and a half year sentence after pleading guilty to theft in Magistrate's Court. He was caught in the act and detained by the owner.
The police reported that they received a report yesterday of a burglary in progress at a residence on Faber's Road Extension. When they arrived at the scene they saw Daniel Chavarria in his yard with the culprit, Wade, in his custody. Chavarria reported that Wade had broken into his vehicle that was parked in his yard and had stolen several items that amounted to $1,260 dollars in value.
Police charged him with theft, and he was arraigned before Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer. When he was arraigned today, he chose to plea guilty to the charge. He would have been given a fine, but because he is a repeat offender with 2 previous convictions, Senior Magistrate Frazer had to sentence him jail time. She handed him 18 months - 2 and a half years in prison.
