In the morning plea court session, 27-year-old Johnson Faulkner, of Sandys Parish, and 29-year-old Glynn Fisher, of 28 Jones Lane, Warwick, admitted to separate charges of speeding.

Marine Police pulled Faulkner over at Darrell's Wharf on June 6, after seeing him speeding between Burnt Island and Mission's Point. Faulkner's 16-foot boat, powered by a 65 horse power engine, was travelling at 15 knots.

The officers pointed out that the speed limit in the area was a maximum of five knots. Faulkner thanked them for bringing the law to his attention, but was ticketed nevertheless.

Fisher, in a boat he had bought just the day before, was caught on June 8 in the same area as Faulkner. In his boat fitted with a 135 horse power engine, Fisher was traveling at 15 knots in a five knot zone.

Both men were fined $300 by Magistrate Archibald Warner.
