WAYNE Price, brother of dancehall deejay Bounty Killer, pleaded guilty to larceny when he appeared in the Basseterre Magistrate’s Court, St Kitts, yesterday.
Price was arrested at the Robert L Bradshaw International Airport on Saturday for allegedly stealing a customer service representative’s cellphone. He was subsequently charged.
“He [Mr Price] pleaded guilty to the charge of larceny. He was fined EC$3,000 (US$1,111) approximately) and ordered to compensate the victim an additional EC$3,000,” Inspector Lyndon David, press and public relations officer for the Royal St Christopher & Nevis Police Force, told the Jamaica Observer.
Price was represented by attorneys-at-law Marissa Hobson-Newman, Marsha Henderson and Greville Browne.
“The fine was forthwith, meaning he had to pay it before he left the court,” said Inspector David.
Price was part of Bounty Killer’s (given name Rodney Price) entourage preparing to board a flight to leave the island.
The deejay had performed on the St Kitts Music Festival in Warner Park, on Friday night. His brother had accompanied him.
According to media reports, Price was being assisted by a customer service representative at the airport, prior to his scheduled departure from St Kitts.
She left her phone on the counter. On realising the instrument was missing, she raised an alarm. A check of the surveillance camera showed Price picking up the phone.
He was accosted by the police who found the phone. Reports are that the battery and SIM card were already removed.
Price subsequently arrested.
