ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- On Monday, February 21, 2021, Baughers Bay resident Clifton Stoutt was sentenced to eight months behind bars for burglarising Island Sizzle in the same community on November 16, 2021.

Magistrate Khadeen Palmer handed down the sentence via Zoom.

Initially, the magistrate’s sentence started at 12 months; however, after weighing the mitigating and aggravating factors such as his early guilty plea, he was given a discount, bringing his sentence to a total of eight months.

The particulars of the offence state that he entered as a trespasser at Island Sizzle and attempted to steal one case of Kirkland water and assorted drinks. The total amount was valued at $25.

Facts

On November 16, 2021, at around 5:00 am, the manager (Virtual Complainant) entered the business place where he noticed a case of water and a black garbage bag on the floor.

It did not arouse his suspicion as he thought someone left it there because there were always parties being held there but decided to review CCTV footage to find out who it was.

It was then he observed a male with his face partially covered trying to take items from the bar area.

He reported the matter to the police and the defendant was identified as the perpetrator because there were several times his face coverings were removed and his face was visible in the camera.

The accused was approached on December 3, 2021, and he was informed of the allegations and asked to participate in an interview.

At first, he denied the allegations but when he was shown the CCTV footage, he admitted to the offence.

During the interview, the defendant said he was contracted by someone else to burglarise the establishment and felt that it was a set-up.

He was granted $20,000 bail with conditions during his arraignment hearing.

He was not represented during the criminal proceedings.

      I believe somebody work thing on him to make him thief. As he out of jail he go right back in. He spent most of his years in the jail for stealing. That isn't normal.
      He is not an ugly man. Could have gotten a nice girl, work and settle down but he can't stop thief. Sad

        Getting a nice girl or a nice man to settle down with is not the answer. Are you saying a nice girl to cook and be a house slave?

      Because the pettier the crime, the more time you are going to get. You and someone rob say a bank, you took $25,000 your buddy took $5,000, your buddy is going to get more jail time.

    Set up who. This dam man Clifton Stout must have some sort of Devil on him. His behavior is just fill of bull. No body should come here making any excuse for him.
    So are you telling me that after spending over ten years in prison and some time taken off the 30 years imprisonment that he got.
    For those of you who finding excuse for him, when last Did you speak to him about his behavior.
    He and lightening ( Sydney Varlack) don't mean to stop thief. God forbid man.
    You people stop encouraging lazy people to do wrong. The Upholder is worse than the thief.

    Clifton has been in, more than out, of prison for his entire life. For the person who said the Stoutts have money, he is one of the broke Stoutts.
