The three men -- 24-year-old Omar Devall Amory, 20-year-old Harron Lee Powell Evans and 20-year-old Kirk Mundy -- were each charged with conspiring to rob the Bank of Butterfield of some $68,000 and other items and arming themselves with a firearm while doing so.

Evans was also charged with using a firearm to commit an indictable offence and with possessing an air pistol, while Mundy was charged with possessing an imitation firearm with the intent to commit an offence.

On November 10 of last year, more than $68,000 was snatched at gunpoint from a Bank of Butterfield security van as it pulled into the Mermaid Beach Club on South Shore Road in Warwick to restock an on-site ATM.

Evans and Amory had their $30,000 bail extended yesterday by Puisne Judge Norma Wade while Mundy remains in custody until their December 2 mention date.

Nesbitt was also charged with driving along North Shore Road while impaired and driving with more than the legal limit of 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood.

Yesterday Puisne Judge Norma Wade extended Nesbitt's $1,500 bail to return to court on December 2 for mention.

Nisbett is represented by lawyer Julian Hall.

REPORT ORDERED FOR BLIND MAN CTS Report ordered for blind man A 67-year-old blind man appeared in Magistrates' Court yesterday charged with behaving offensively while concerned with another person.

However Eric Trott, of South Road, Paget, appeared by himself in court yesterday and will return on December 30 for sentencing after Probation Services conduct a report on him.

The court heard that a Dundonald Street resident looked out of her window on May 15 and saw a couple engaged in what looked like sexual intercourse near where her children were playing on a grassy area at Brunswick Street.

The complainant said the woman's shirt was pulled up over her breasts and her pants and underwear were down around her ankles. She added that Trott had one leg out of his pants.

The woman's friend recognised the couple and called the Police who arrested them a few days later.

Trott told the court he was "stoned on steroids and black rum'' and did not remember the incident.

Acting Senior Magistrate Cheryl-Ann Mapp sent Trott to Probation Services for a report which would give a "fuller picture of the matter'' and told Trott to not abuse his medication by taking it with alcohol.

MAGISTRATE MAPP BLASTS PETTY THIEF CTS Magistrate Mapp blasts petty thief A 48-year-old sweater thief was fined $100 in Magistrates' Court yesterday.

Sinclair Fox of the Salvation Army shelter pleaded guilty to stealing a sweater from the English Sports Shop on November 9.

The court heard Fox was nabbed leaving another store by its security guard on suspicion of shop lifting and the Police were called.

They arrived and found the sweater but Fox could not produce a receipt for it so they arrested him. He later admitted stealing it.

Fox told Acting Senior Magistrate Cheryl-Ann Mapp that he was looking for a job so he could do better for himself but she blasted him.

"Who is going to employ you when you're a thief and just a petty one at that? "You're just a community nuisance. Were you cold and wanted to keep warm? You have food and shelter provided for you so there's no reason for you to behave like this.'' Ms Mapp asked Fox if he was trying to get himself sent to jail but he said he did not want to go there. He said he would make this the last time he was before the court.

She told him he better because he had a suspended sentence hanging over him and next time he appeared it would be activated. Ms Mapp then fined Fox $100.

CONDITIONAL DISCHARGE FOR MAN CTS Conditional discharge for man Being so drunk that he could not take care of himself landed a 46-year-old Salvation Army resident in Magistrates' Court yesterday.

The court heard that Neville Smith was found lying on the floor of the Ferry Terminal on November 8 unconscious and smelling of intoxicants.

Police officers helped him to his feet and eventually arrested him when they realised he was impaired and incapable of taking care of himself.

The next day, Smith apologised to Police officers for being in that condition.

He said he had been to a party and time had flown by making it too late for him to get in the shelter.

Acting Senior Magistrate Cheryl-Ann Mapp warned Smith: "You know you live at the shelter and have to abide by their rules or you'll be going in and out of the Police Station.

"The party season will be upon us very shortly so make sure you are in before the shelter closes.'' Ms Mapp gave Smith a conditional discharge for 12 months.

DISQUALIFED FOR DRUNK DRIVING CTS Disqualified for drunk driving A 51-year-old Hamilton Parish man found himself without his driver's licence and less $500 by the time he left Magistrates' Court yesterday.

Thomas Forster, of Long Lane, had pleaded guilty to driving a motorcycle on South Road in Smith's Parish while he had in excess of 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood.

Police prosecutor Sgt. Kendrick James told the court that the lowest reading given by Forster on October 17 was 208 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood.

The reading was taken after Police officers observed Forster swerve back and forth across the centre line in the road and stopped him.

Forster's lawyer Mark Pettingill asked Acting Senior Magistrate Cheryl-Ann Mapp to consider his client's plea of guilty, his cooperation with Police and the embarrassment the arrest had caused him.

But Ms Mapp replied: "I think his embarrassment should be the least of his concerns.'' Mr. Pettingill said Forster understood how serious the offence was viewed in the court and added there was no fear of his client reoffending. He also requested that Forster be able to keep his licence for other vehicles.

But Ms Mapp said Forster's job did not require a driver's licence and she was "quite sure'' he was well aware that people who drink and drive were subject to a loss of driving privileges. She then fined him $500 and disqualified him from driving all vehicles for 12 months.
