Bahamian women fined $5,000 each for fake COVID tests

Date:

Two women who strained to visit Gregory Town, Eleuthera, on forged COVID­19 tests were each penalized $5,000 or
three months’ term on Friday.

Miquel Sturrup, 28, of Eleuthera, and Anthonique Mackey, 31, of All Saints Way, were both prevented at Lynden Pindling International Airport on April 16, after they obtainable fake negative COVID­19 test results that appeared to be delivered by Doctors Hospital.

They both begged shamefaced to control of a forged
document and saying a forged document at their impeachment before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson­Pratt.

However, inquiries exposed that neither woman had ever visited Doctors Hospital. Despite this, Sturrup alleged that she had taken a COVID­19 test at the hospital’s Collins Street location. Meanwhile, her co­defendant self­confessed that she had paid a lady $70 for the bogus test. En passant sentence, Ferguson­Pratt said there was no justified reason for his or her actions.

Each woman paid half their fine on Friday to avoid beginning their three­month prison sentence.

They have until June 1 to pay the opposite $2,500. Sergeant 3605 Samantha Miah prosecuted. The criminals didn’t
have attorneys.
