T&T man fined for defrauding hotel

Anthony Nester, the Trinidadian national who was charged with incurring over $250,000 debt at the Brandsville Hotel last year, was yesterday found guilty of the crime and fined.

The charge against Nestor, 28, stated that, between April 1st, 2016 and April 15th, 2016 in Georgetown, he incurred a debt of $260,824.14 at the Brandsville Hotel by falsely pretending that he had a valid credit card to pay.

Nester, who was on trial before city magistrate Judy Latchman, had denied the charge.
