A MAN was sentenced to four months in prison after admitting to escaping custody in Governor’s Harbour, Eleuthera, following an immigration breach last weekend.
Senior Magistrate Raquel Whyms arraigned Fedlin Alexandre, 29, on charges of escaping lawful custody. He also faced an immigration-related charge and was provided with a Creole translator during the proceedings.
Alexandre reportedly escaped from authorities on September 7 while being held for an immigration matter.
After pleading guilty to both charges, he was sentenced to four months at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services for the escape and three months for the immigration violation, to be served concurrently.
Magistrate Whyms informed Alexandre that once he completes his sentence, he will be handed over to Immigration officials for deportation proceedings.
Sergeant 2257 Wilkinson served as the prosecutor.
