NASSAU- A 55-year-old man has admitted to a break-in at the home of former Governor Governor Sir Arthur Foulkes.
Hensley Pennerman entered Sir Arthur’s West Bay Street home through a kitchen window and stole an Apple MacBook and $121.
The stolen items belonged to Sir Arthur’s wife, Lady Joan Foulkes. She discovered the break-in and theft around 6:30am on February 6, 2020.
Police arrested Pennerman in relation to another crime this week. They linked him to the Foulkes break-in through his fingerprints.
Pennerman, otherwise known as Charles Forbes, pleaded guilty to housebreaking and stealing at his arraignment before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt.
Pennerman apologized for his actions. He claimed that he committed the crimes to fuel his 30-year crack cocaine habit.
He asked the court to ensure that he received treatment while in custody so that he wouldn’t return to a life of crime.
The magistrate has set sentencing for August 13.
In addition to those charges, Pennerman is accused of six burglaries, a rape and attempted rape.
Those crimes allegedly took place between 2015 and 2020.
Pennerman didn’t have to enter pleas to those charges when he appeared before the chief magistrate.
But Pennerman said he intended to plead guilty.
