Reckless and positive for COVID-19.
That was how Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes described the actions of Elliott Joe Love, the boyfriend of British former model and reality TV star Zara Holland, who left his hotel without checking out, got into a taxi and headed to Grantley Adams International Airport in an attempt to flee the island, all the while positive for COVID-19.
And while his financial situation was not the same as Holland’s, thereby negating a $12 000 fine, said Chief Magistrate Weekes, it certainly warranted one higher than $6 000.
As a result, he fined him $8 000 in seven days or nine months in prison. The fine was paid, and Love, who was scheduled to leave the island yesterday, thanked Barbados’ medical staff.

The court does not show “favour” in its consideration of those brought before it on COVID-19 breaches says the island’s Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes. Rather, guilty persons are subjected to a “means assessment” to find out whether they can pay a fine, he said as he ordered former British reality television star Zara Holland to pay $12,000 for violating the island’s COVID-19 protocols.
The money was to be paid in seven days, with the alternative of seven days in prison. The fine was paid later in the day.
Weekes had also warned that the court would, “through the auspices of INTERPOL”, issue a warrant for Holland’s arrest if the money was not paid within the stipulated time before releasing her on $20,000 bail in the meantime.
