British BPL Attacker Pleads Guilty

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – An Englishman who punched a BPL worker who came to turn off his electricity has pleaded guilty to causing harm.

58-year-old Stephen Acres of Palatial Estates, Paradise Island, struck Gabriel Gordon in the right eye and forehead while he tried to access the meter box at his condominium on October 3rd.

However, Gordon fought back and held acres in a judo hold until the police arrived.

A picture of the incident went viral earlier this week showing the two men struggling on the ground.

Acres was arrested and charged with causing harm. He admitted the offense at his arraignment before Senior Magistrate Derence Rolle-Davis and he was fined $1,200 and ordered to pay $500 in compensation to Gordon.

Acres has paid the money and the magistrate has ordered him to leave the country in 24 hours at his own expense.
