PRISON TERM HANDED DOWN FOR B&E CTS Prison term handed down for B&E A 35-year-old homeless unemployed drug addict was imprisoned for nine months yesterday after he pleaded guilty to breaking and entering a Warwick home.

Magistrates' Court heard that Webster Tucker returned to his Swansville Road home on January 24 and found Dean A. O'Brien hiding in his son's bedroom closet.

Mr. Tucker called the Police who came and arrested the would-be thief.

O'Brien later admitted climbing through the residence's window because he was looking for something valuable to steal.

He told officers he was frustrated with life and had a drug habit. He added that because he had been unemployed for five years he was forced to steal to support his addiction.

Senior Magistrate Will Francis said he would take into account O'Brien's prompt plea of guilty and the fact that there was no violence involved in the crime but added that he could not sentence him to anything less than nine months.

NO PROPER CARE FOR THREE HORSES CTS No proper care for three horses A 27-year-old man received a conditional discharge for a year from Senior Magistrate Will Francis yesterday after he pleaded guilty to failing to properly care for animals in his custody.

The court heard that Antoine Sealey, of Pearman's Hill, Warwick, kept three horses at Rockville Lane, Pembroke.

Authorities from the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals attended the site after receiving information and found the facility and animals in a bad state.

They told Sealey to clear up the area and have the animals treated by a veterinarian.

They returned and found the animals and lot in better condition but when they came back again later they found the property in disrepair and the animals in worse condition than before.

Sealey explained that he had lost his job and had no money to care for the animals. He turned the care of the animals over to the Government so there would be no danger of further mistreatment.
