AN American man was fined in court yesterday after he admitted to committing credit card fraud while staying at the Sandals resort last month.

Damien Brown, 31, of Los Angeles, California, appeared before Magistrate Kendra Kelly on charges of credit by fraud and possession of a forged document.

Between March 27 and 28, Brown is said to have incurred a $5,600 debt at the Sandals Resort on West Bay Street after using a forged American Express Credit Card in his name.

In court, the accused pleaded guilty and was ordered to fully compensate the resort. He was further ordered to pay a collective fine of $5,000 or risk eight months in jail.
