April 12, 2013

In Magistrates Court this morning [Apr 12] 43-year-old Carlton Minors pleaded guilty to stealing $149 worth of tenderloin steak from Lindo’s in Warwick in April 2013.

Prosecutor Carrington Mahoney told Senior Magistrate Archie Warner that Minors was accosted by shop staff as he was leaving the store. Police were called and he was arrested after they found the meat on his person.

The Court heard that additional steak was found on the floor of the Police car after they had transported Minors to Hamilton Police Station.

The Crown Prosecutor told the Senior Magistrate that Minors was currently on probation as well as under a suspended sentence for offences including burglary and stealing.

In dealing with today’s guilty plea, the Senior Magistrate adjourned all the matters to 26th April and Minors was remanded into custody until then.

Minors also pleaded not guilty to two charges of stealing laptops, a camera, and a smartphone, and of receiving a laptop knowing or believing it to be stolen. These two charges were alleged to have occurred because of Minor’s actions between January and March 2013.

    “Addiction is a sickness” and it is obvious that he is in need of some treatment…No before we go futher I’m not saying to have pity upon him because he knew damn well the consequences if/when he gets caught doing wrong from previouse experiences doing the same thing andbeing”locked-up. “History repeats itself when one fails to learn the first time”
    Addiction is not just a physical ailment but a mental sickness also and anyone who says they want to free themself from any type of addiction/s must first be sincere, otherwise they might as well not even try giving up…

  8. James Rego says:

    There is no mention what he stole the day before from the same establishment and got away with it! This guy is a serious menace all the way around. Look what happened in 2008.

    Google, Carlton Minors Bermuda and you will read about his father as well. The proverbial Apple!

  9. Judge & Jury says:

    Yes An arrogant thief all his life. I hope he gets an appropriate sentence so that we all don’t have to worry about our property when we go to work.

    • mixitup says:

      I know I didn’t just read this ridiculous comment! People NOT ALL Black folks think this way.. You are an embarrassment to civil society!

      • Raymond Ray says:

        mixtup: “True dat” they’re showing their true colour. Whoever it is, they’re a living a$$$$$$$$

    • James Rego says:

      @lilbitmoretogo

      Next time he should visit your house!

    • Over doin it says:

      Yeah but $149 worth of steak, he was just greedy not hungry

    • Justice says:

      You’re an idiot!!

    • Justice NOW says:

      The man stole $149.00 worth of tenderloin steak, a luxury item. That’s greed, not hunger!

      I suppose he figured that if he was going to take the risk it’s better to steal tenderloin than hamburger, but to try to justify it as stealing to avoid going hungry? Ridiculous.

  11. Victor says:

    Is this the son of the infamous Carlton Minors who back in the 80s was convicted of importation of weed, escaped Casemates and was eventually many months later re-apprehended in North Carolina?

  12. James Rego says:

    Bernews, why is my last comment still “awaiting moderation” almost 24 hours later? Have I contravened a rule or done something wrong which I am not aware of? Please advise.

  13. Dee Dee says:

    Steak $149? OMG …. what did he take …. a cow fed primarily on organic food? Geesh! Expensive taste ….. again here we go, gotta have the best but no money to maintain “the best” lifestyle. What’s with us?
