A 17-year-old was given a conditional discharge in Supreme Court yesterday after earlier pleading guilty to receiving stolen goods and assault occasioning actually bodily harm (ABH).

Derek Andre Weeks, of My Lord?s Bay Road, Hamilton Parish had admitted receiving an alarm clock after friends raided Clear View Guest Apartments on November 7 last year.

His lawyer, Craig Attridge, said Weeks had not known what was afoot when he went to the Hamilton Parish tourist apartment with his friends. After he found they were raiding it he fled ? but not before being thrown the alarm clock, .

Weeks had also pleaded guilty to ABH for his part in an attack on a Pizza Hut employee on September 30 last year. Weeks had hit the victim with a crash helmet. Another man has been jailed over the attack.

Mr. Attridge said the attack had resulted in bruising to the jaw of the victim and was not that serious.

He said Weeks had already spent more than three months on remand and had lost an internship in a management services firm as a result.

?The time in custody had a profound affect on him.?

Weeks was a bright student, who was now continuing with his home schooling, said Mr. Attridge who called for probation for his client.

Supreme Court judge Charles-Etta Simmons gave Weeks a conditional discharge lasting two years.
