after pleading guilty to five traffic offences.

Jason T. Anderson, of Khyber Pass, Warwick, pleaded guilty to driving with no insurance, failing to stop after an accident, failing to leave a name after an accident, driving without a licence and driving without due care.

Police prosecutor Sgt. Phil Taylor said Anderson was coming out of a car park on a bike at Queen Street, St. George's, on September 23, 1996 when he hit the front of a taxi, bounced off it, and landed on the side of the road, damaging both the car and his bike.

He then proceeded to ride off, leaving the accident scene without exchanging information with the taxi driver.

However, the driver was able to get a licence plate number and Anderson was tracked down. Magistrate Cheryl-Ann Mapp ordered Anderson to pay a $100 fine for no insurance, $100 for failing to stop, $200 for failing to leave a name, $300 for no licence, and $250 for driving without due care.

MAN PLEADS GUILTY TO INTRUDING ON PRIVACY CTS Man pleads guilty to intruding on privacy A 19-year-old Pembroke man yesterday pleaded guilty to intruding on the privacy of a female.

Ebay S. Todd, of Mount Hill, Pembroke, engaged a young woman in conversation as she walked along Washington Street in Pembroke at 2 p.m. on January 14.

Police prosecutor Sgt. Phil Taylor said the woman told Police that Todd asked her a question but she continued walking at which time he pushed her and then grabbed her behind.

Police arrested Todd at 12.05 p.m. on January 15 at the Hamilton bus depot off Church Street and took him to Hamilton Police Station where he was questioned.

At that time Todd told Police he was running to catch a bus and accidentally brushed against the young woman. But he pleaded guilty to the offence yesterday. Acting Senior Magistrate Cheryl-Ann Mapp ordered Todd to pay a $300 fine.

COLLEGE STUDENT FIEND DOR DRINK-DRIVING CTS College student fined for drink-driving A 20-year-old visiting college student pleaded guilty in Magistrates' Court to driving while impaired.

Police prosecutor Sgt. Phil Taylor said Police on duty near the Crow Lane, Pembroke area saw William Fern swerving on his livery cycle at 3.30 a.m. on July 19.

The officers watched as Fern collided with the kerb before pulling him over, Sgt. Taylor added. When Police walked up to Fern they noticed that his breath smelled of alcohol and his eyes were red.

He was arrested and taken to Hamilton Police Station where an alco-analyser test showed that he had at least 141 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. The legal limit is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood.

But Fern said he was swerving because he had a flat tire, not because he was drunk. Senior Magistrate Will Francis ordered him to pay a $300 fine and banned him from driving all motor vehicles for 12 months.

Beak was stopped by the manager and taken back into the store and Police were called. Sgt. Taylor said Beak apologised when he was taken to Hamilton Police Station.

When asked by Acting Senior Magistrate Cheryl-Ann Mapp why he had committed the offence when he had $50 in his pocket at the time, Beak replied: "I don't know.''
