Thirty-two year old Raymond Myers, a fish vendor of Conch Shell Bay, found himself in front of the Magistrate's Court after his home was raided by the Gang Suppression Unit. No, it's nothing like the what the GSU are accused of by the Meighan family once again. They managed to make a successful fisheries bust, and the Department's Acting Inspector told us more about it this evening:
Calman Hall, Acting Incp,. Fisheries Department
"It was a GSU seizure which was made at 34A West Collet Canal early this morning about 7:30 thereabout and while they do their search, they found a icebox with undersized suspected conch and then brought it over here to the Fisheries Department where they passed over their findings to Elvis Williams to check and verify that the products were in deed undersized and the gentleman was then charged for possession of undersized product. After Mr. Williams had done his due diligence found that the gentleman had 444 individual conch and he was taken to court this morning and a fine of $200 were levied on him and a penalty of $8,880 was levied on him for the 444 individual conch."
Myers was fined a total of $9,020 today by Magistrate Carlon Mendoza after he pled guilty to possession 444 undersized conch. He was given until July 29, 2016 to pay. if he defaults on payment he will serve 3 months.
