A man was arraigned on a charge of burglary after he allegedly stole from an 84 year old woman in Maskall village. 25 year old Jevon Gray was hired by the woman to clean her yard. Gray claims that the woman did not want to pay him, which led him to steal 16 ceramic plates valued $150 back in February.
He was unrepresented in court and at first he pleaded guilty. He then explained that he was invited into the home to eat breakfast with the woman, and while he did steal the items, he never broke into the house. He added that he returned the plates but that the woman said she didn't have money to pay him, and he needed to buy groceries for his family.
Gray was given a fine of $5,000 which he has until August 31 to pay, in default 1 year imprisonment.
However, since Gray owed $250 from a previous conviction and was unable to pay it, he was still detained for that unpaid fine.
