THE MAN accused of causing $1.2 million of damage to the airport road will have to wait another three weeks before learning his fate.

Thomas Alexander Rigby, 53, was supposed to receive his sentence yesterday but the ruling was once again delayed.

The Watling Street resident was charged with intentionally damaging 8,700 feet of surface material valued at $1,211,396.67, the property of the Bahamas government, between July 6 and July 12.

He pleaded not guilty on July 18 and was denied bail after the prosecution objected “in the best interest of the public”.

However, on his return to court on August 8, ahead of his September 16 trial, Rigby pleaded guilty to the charge and said he was aware that what he did was wrong and that he caused embarrassment for the government.

He is expected to return to court on December 16.
