A MAN was ordered to reimburse a grocery store yesterday after he admitted stealing $46.62 worth of inventory while drunk.
Keith Butler, 57, appeared before Magistrate Samuel McKinney on charges of stealing and receiving.
On January 3 at the Quality Supermarket on West Bay Street, Butler reportedly stole four packages of raw shrimp, a piece of macaroni and a deli dinner altogether valued at $46.62.
In court, Butler pleaded guilty to the offence explaining that he was intoxicated at the time. With his admittance of the theft, the receiving charge against him was dropped.
The magistrate ordered him to compensate the store for the stolen goods. Butler was further bound to keep the peace for six months. If he violates this, he faces a $500 fine or three months in prison.
