Six months for hospital burglary

Feeling “abandoned” by the Psychiatric Hospital, a 62-year-old broke in and stole over $370 in food and other items.

“They turned against me, so I turned against them,” Clent Antonia Decosta Rock, of no fixed address, told Magistrate Jared Richards as he pleaded guilty to burglary in the District ‘A’ Traffic Court.

He admitted that between September 30 and Oct 1, he trespassed on the clinic and stole milk, tea bags, tins of tuna, bottles of peanut butter, hot dogs, rice, luncheon meat, packs of oatmeal, noodles, biscuits, sugar, pairs of slippers, puzzle sets and doilies, property of the State totaling $373.15.
