A MAN was granted $7,500 bail yesterday after being accused of setting fire to a business on East Street South in 2022, causing $150,000 in damages.
Senior Magistrate Shaka Serville arraigned Harry Verne, 43, on charges of arson, shopbreaking, and theft.
Verne allegedly broke into Mayaguana Deep South Floyd’s Place on July 8, 2022, stealing $15,700 worth of property belonging to Allan McClain.
Later that day, between 1pm and 4pm, Verne allegedly set fire to the building, resulting in significant damage.
After pleading not guilty, Verne was informed that his bail conditions include signing in at the Fox Hill Police Station every Tuesday and Saturday by 6pm, surrendering his travel documents, and wearing a monitoring device.
He was warned that breaching any of these conditions could revoke his bail.
Verne’s trial is scheduled to begin on December 17. Philip Hilton is representing him.
