No watch, no breach
Article by January 26, 2021
Kent Darnell Placido Hall is of the view that he is not guilty of breaching this island’s COVID-19 curfew last Saturday because he “didn’t have a watch”.
The No 440 14th Avenue West Terrace, St James resident, who was dressed in a wet suit, entered the plea before Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes this afternoon.
He is alleged to have contravened
Paragraph 1, Subparagraph (3) of the Emergency Management COVID-19 Protocols Special Curfew No. 2 Directive 2021 by failing to comply with the order that he does not leave his home between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. when he is not an employee or a member of the essential services or a person who had an emergency.
