A former St James’s Club worker was fined and ordered to repay the Mamora Bay-based hotel after he stole over $1,500 worth of goods from them.
In May 2022, Alester Crichton admitted that he stole several bottles of liquor – to include wine and champagne – plus steak, lamb and a case of Kellogg’s cereal collectively valued at just over $1,600 from the hotel on May 19 2021.
Most of the items were recovered and will be returned to the resort.
As a result, Magistrate Conliffe Clarke only instructed Crichton to compensate the hotel in the sum of $100 for the items that were not found. He must also pay $500 to the state.
Crichton was initially charged alongside a co-worker, Brandon McKay.
The police however dropped the charges against McKay.
Crichton was represented by attorney Wendel Robinson.
