Ronald Evans of Delices could go to jail for three months if he fails to pay a $1,000 fine by December 31, 2012.
Evans pleaded guilty in court on Monday to a charge of using a knife to intimidate his stepfather in his garden. His statement to the police following the incident was “Officer I cannot get a wife.”
The prosecution told the court that Evans seems to have some psychological issues. According to Evans, he said that to the police ‘just so’, explaining to the court that the real reason for his action was that someone had stolen his produce and he was “frustrated”.
“Calm yourself, learn to treat people with respect and watch how you deal with people,” presiding Magistrate Candia Carette George admonished the Delices resident.
