He was ordered to pay compensation for the cost of the goat by February 15 or face three months prison. He was also fined $3,000 to be paid by June 30, or he will face an additional year in prison.<\/p>\n<p>According to the facts of the case, presented by the police prosecutor, on January 17, 2010 at about 7 p.m. the complainant tied his goat outside his home at Fond Cole. The following morning at 5 a.m. he went out and noticed that it was missing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe went about making inquiries, and while at Tarish Pit he walked towards the bus stop where he saw the defendant carrying a plastic bag with what appeared to be goat hooves and ribs,\u201d the prosecutor said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe called the defendant and asked him, \u2018What\u2019s happening? What\u2019s up?\u2019, the defendant suddenly turned around and started running. The complainant chased him and they both ended up at the bus stop. At that time the defendant had nothing in his hand. The complainant took a picture of the defendant on his cell phone and made a report to the Roseau Police Station,\u201d the prosecutor informed the court.<\/p>\n<p>With the cell phone picture the police were able to arrest the defendant. When questioned at the police station about the said livestock the defendant said, \u201cI don\u2019t know about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a confrontation with one of the witnesses at the police station Frederick said, \u201cI had nothing in my hand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the court, the defendant is a repeat offender.
