received a criminal record.

And Webb, of Sunset View Road, Pembroke, continued the deception by appearing in court under the name of her sister, Penny Webb.

Penny Webb is now attempting to have the offences expunged from the court records.

Alfreda Webb, 26, appeared in Magistrates' court this week where she pleaded guilty to charges of making a false statement to a Police officer, deception in Hamilton magistrates' court, driving while disqualified, with no insurance and on an unlicensed bike.

Prosecuting, Sgt. Kenrick James said that on June 10 Police officers had noticed the licence on Webb's motorcycle was out of date.

"When she was asked for details she gave her name as Penny Webb. She then paid the $100 for the fine,'' he said.

"Her sister was fined $300 for having no insurance. When she appeared in court the officer eliminated her as the offender.

"Penny Webb has since started proceedings in Supreme Court to have the convictions expunged.'' It was discovered that Alfreda Webb was the person involved and Police found that she had been driving the bike while disqualified.

Duty counsel Miss Belinda Harvey said: "She gave her sister's name because she feared any publicity could have affected her job, where she had just moved into a managerial position. Subsequently she lost the job.'' Miss Harvey said that Webb had a three-month-old baby and was pregnant at the time of the incident. She asked that magistrate the Wor. John Judge consider a non-custodial sentence.

Mr. Judge said he was considering a period of community service for Webb but required a social inquiry report.

He said he could not fine her until he found out whether the fines had been paid back to her sister by the court. If the money was not paid back then the traffic offences had already been punished.

Despite pleas that she needed transport to get from Spanish Point to her new job in Southampton, Mr. Judge disqualified Webb for a year. "My hands are tied,'' he said.

"I trust you have learned the hard way that trying to lie your way out of trouble only gets you into further and deeper trouble.

"When someone gives someone else's name to get out of trouble the normal sentence is a custodial one.''
