$4 meal thief breaks probation

NASSAU-A man who tried to steal a $4 meal from a food store deli is in legal trouble again.

Presley McKee, 39, committed the offenses of unlawful possession and deceit of a public officer days after he was placed on probation for the food theft case.

As a result, he’ll be jailed for three months for the probation violation.

Around 5:20am on December 9, officers on patrol on Cowpen Road saw McKee walking with a bag of cement.

He couldn’t say where he got the cement from, so they officers arrested him for unlawful possession.

Additionally, McKee gave the arresting officers a false name. Once they learned his true identity, the officers charged him with deceit of a public officer.

McKee admitted those offenses at an arraignment before Senior Magistrate Derence Rolle-Davis on December 13.

He was remanded to prison until Thursday, December 16 for sentencing.
