Magistrate orders DR national to return home
The magistrate, through an interpreter, informed Rosa Garo Cuevas that she could apply a custodial sentence or a fine of $1000 but she was taking into consideration the fact that the defendant pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity, what she had told the court, and her “particular circumstances”.
She also said she was going to treat the time that she was in custody as time served. The woman was arrested since November 11, 2011.
Magistrate Stephens then told the defendant that she had no status in the Territory and would have to be returned to her homeland and would remain in custody until Wednesday, December 7, 2011 when Immigration Authorities can arrange a flight to take her home.
