For the act of concealing a Nokia cellphone close to his testicles while he was in custody at the Constant Spring Police Station, an unemployed man was sentenced to three months in prison in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday.
Neville Lee, 43, of a St Andrew address was charged with breaches of the Corrections Act.
According to police reports, about 9 a.m. on October 11 of this year, the defendant was being prepared for a court appearance when he was observed by police officers putting an object into his waistband.
He was then searched and a black and silver Nokia cellphone retrieved from beside his testicles.
Lee subsequently told the court that the cellphone was given to him to hold by someone while he was in the holding area of the station.
When Lee was asked how much time he was planning to spend in prison for it, he replied, "none", and told the court that he was going through a tough time in his life.
Furthermore, he explained that he was going through a divorce and was served divorce papers while in custody which prohibited him from responding to his wife's request,among other things.
