Article by March 4, 2021
In his haste to avoid a breach of curfew charge a 45-year-old mechanic racked up a number of traffic offences and the very charge he was seeking to escape.
When Wayne Mervin Stuart, of Waterhall Land, Eagle Hall, St Michael saw police in his community around 7:15 p.m. on Monday, he sped off. The siren and beacon were turned on but he did not stop.
Lawmen followed him onto Waterhall Land and observed him swerving in the roadway in a reckless manner. He then drove on to Pasture Road without stopping at a major stop then onto Kew Road where he failed to observe a second stop sign. He crashed into the side of road damaging his motor car MA394 and finally came to a stop.

On the very day Wayde Mclloyd Grant was released from prison he found himself again in trouble with the law after smoking crack cocaine – his drug of choice.
The 48-year-old from Taylor’s Gap, Rock Hall, St George never ventured to his residence on February 27 when he was released from the Dodds, St Philip facility, in the morning, after serving three months there.
Instead of going home, he told Magistrate Elwood Watts “I just come from getting something to smoke.”
Grant had, moments before, pleaded guilty to loitering at the Fairchild Street Bus Terminal last Saturday. He was unable to give a satisfactory account of himself.
