Howard Hughes sentenced to 'time served' for Breach of Curfew
Hughes had pleaded guilty to the charge which stated that on April 12, 2020, he violated the imposition of Curfew Order No. 5 of 2020, having been found on Main Street at 11:00 pm on the day in question.
The round-the-clock curfew order enforced at the time had prohibited anyone, except essential workers, from being in a public space.
Hughes was sentenced to time served which meant he has already served his time since he was incarcerated since April 12, 2020.
The defendant; however, is also charged with Burglary but pleaded not guilty.
Magistrate Benjamin said the court could not determine that Mr Hughes “was a fit and proper candidate” to be offered bail since it could not establish whether Mr Hughes has a fixed place of abode.
The unrepresented Hughes was remanded until June 4, 2020.

What will we be left with? Some IPs and some expat lawyers and a civil service.
We need to be compassionate and the 7% tax on downislanders is not so. Introduce a 10% income tax by all means, but don’t introduce a tax discriminating based on where you are in society.
Govtgotthiswront.
We are down islanders they are USOTBVI.
They work when tolians dont want the jobs. Most of them are a lot more loyal less greedy and honest than tolians. So please back up off them!!!!!! BTW I am a 5th generation indigenous BVIslander and I support those who support our country. Some need to go cause they are useless dishonest murders and thieves along qith the tolians that exhibit the same behavior. SO STOP THE ISLAND PEOPLE ISLAND MAN TALK. #ONECARIBBEAN #ONEVI #ISLANDPEOPLE❤
