A St Catherine man who pleaded guilty to using the seal of a Justice of the Peace to illegally certify several documents, was ordered to pay a fine of $350,000 or spend 21 months in prison.
The man, Mark Anderson, was charged with unauthorised possession of a Justice of the Peace seal and unauthorised use of a justice of the seal.
Anderson was fined $200,000 or 12 months' imprisonment on the possession charge and $150,000, or nine months' imprisonment for unauthorised use of the seal.
The court was told that in August 2024, an intelligence-driven operation by the police led to Anderson's arrest in the Spanish Town bus park along Burke Road.
The seal was reportedly confiscated by the police and further investigations led to the arrest of a Justice of the Peace on a charge of permitting the unauthorised use of the JP seal.
