West brothers, Shawn Edwards charged for robberies

And in other news from the courts, two robbers have been spared a five-year prison term and paid for their crime with cash. Today, twenty-three year old Charles West and his brother, twenty-four year old Nigel West, were both fined two thousand dollars each for a robbery they committed last week. On October, the brothers were convicted of robbing Addington Ramos of a gold ring. Because the West brothers had no previous convictions for robbery, Chief Magistrate Gabb imposed a fine as opposed to the mandatory sentence. They had to immediately pay half of the fine to the court plus six hundred dollars for the value of the ring. If they don’t pay the balance by December fifteenth both brothers will be remanded for two years.

And in more news from the court, twenty-one year old Shawn Edwards, a resident of Sandhill Village was also charged with robbery. Edwards was remanded
