A Pembroke man pleaded guilty in Magistrates' Court to perverting the course of justice by giving Police someone else's name during a traffic stop.

Crown Counsel Maria Sofianos told the court, Police stopped Arya Outerbridge, 18, of 1239 North Shore Road, on March 20, during speed checks on South Shore Road, in Southampton.

He told officers he didn't have his license with him and said his name was Roger Outerbridge.

After Police grew suspicious, they searched him and found his wallet, which contained a driver's license that identified him by his real name.

It was then discovered that he had arrest warrants relating to $2,000 of unpaid fines from another matter and was arrested and taken to Hamilton Police Station.

In court, Outerbridge apologised and said he didn't pay the fines because he was working part-time while attending school.

Magistrate Khamisi Tukunbo fined him $1,000 for giving the false name and ordered that he pay the $3,000 in fines by May 31 or spend three months at Westgate.
