24 year-old Kanisha Temple, the cleaning lady at the Corozal Magistrate’s Court, has pleaded guilty to forgery. She allegedly took $300 from a man who was paying the court, and tried to pocket it, instead of handing it over to the court cashier.

On Friday, January 4th, Edwin Cau went to the court to pay $300. Instead of meeting the cashier he met Temple. She allegedly received the money, forged a Government revenue collectors receipt and pocketed the cash.

She was arraigned today in front of the same court that she cleans, and she wasted no time, pleading guilty to the offense. Magistrate Lionel Olivera decided to hand her a non-custodial sentence, since she was a first-time offender. The Magistrate sentenced her to pay a fine of $1,500 by January 15th, 2020.
