AIDS poster boy charged with Attempted Burglary

And in news from the Magistrates’ Court, Errol Fairweather, the poster boy for AIDS, has been charged with Attempted Burglary for breaking into the offices of Alliance Against Aids. Fairweather told the court this morning that he was looking for medication because he has full blown AIDS. The forty-two year old Fairweather, an outspoken activist, said he broke his left leg when he tried to get into the office and pleaded not guilty to Attempted Burglary but guilty to the charge of Damage to Property. Fairweather said he was sorry for what he did and that he should have acted differently. Magistrate Sharon Fraser fined him five hundred dollars for damage to two sets of sensor lights valued at six hundred dollars. Fairweather has until December thirty-first to pay or serve six months in jail. In respect of the charge of attempted burglary, the accused was offered bail of four thousand dollars and that charge will be brought back to court on December twenty-second.

Rodel Beltran Perrera, the director of the Alliance, told police that he left his office on Meighan Avenue on October twenty-fourth and that sometime around midnight he received information that someone was trying to enter the building. Perrera and the police went to the building where they found Fairweather suffering from an injury to his left leg.
According to Perrera, when he checked around, he noticed that a wooden siding near the attic was broken and so were the sensor lights. Also missing, was a computer which was subsequently recovered. While the incident happened weeks ago, Fairweather has just been charged because he was recovering from the broken leg at the K.H.M.H.
