Thirty seven year old Dwight Sosa, charged with the theft of seven thousand, eight hundred and thirty six dollars worth of sound equipment was sentenced to 6 months today in the Magistrate Court after he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of handling stolen goods. The theft occurred between December 2009 and January 30, 2010. Fifty year old Ian Smith, the owner of Boss Hog Pro Audio, located at the corner of Central American Boulevard and Trinity Street, reported to the police that he left Sosa to stay at his business place and when he returned all the items in it were gone. The items included some musical instruments and microphones. On January 14th, 2010, the police went to Fair Brothers Pawnshop and recovered some of the stolen items.
Magistrate Dorothy Flowers who imposed the sentence stipulated that it should run consecutive to any other sentence Sosa is serving. Sosa owes court fines of 1,000 dollars and 300 dollars for convictions of theft and possession of controlled drugs, so he will have to serve sentence of six months and three months in default of payment of the fines.
