Haitian Ordered Deported
35 year old Marc Roger Saint-Fleur, a woodcarver who had been living in Porto Bello, near Montego Bay, appeared in the Montego Bay Resident Magistrate’s court yesterday, where he pleaded guilty to illegal entry was fined J$10,000 (or 14 days in prison), and ordered deported to his home country – Haiti.
It was alleged that he had been living in Jamaica illegally since January 2008, after arriving here by boat. In court, he told an interpreter that he wanted to stay here in Jamaica, but had not done anything to legalize his status. He was arrested on October 22, after immigration police, acting on information, went to a residence in Porto Bello and captured him.
