Man Found With Forged Voters Card And License Jailed For One Year

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – A man has been jailed after he pleaded guilty to having a forged voter’s card and driver’s licence.

31-year-old Eddie Lexion pleaded guilty to possession of forged documents at his arraignment before Senior Magistrate Anishka Isaacs.

The court heard Lexion presented the bogus documents to a manager at the National Insurance Board on May 20.

The Bacardi Road resident was charged with two counts of possession of a forged document and one count of uttering a forged document.

He was sentenced to eight  months for having the fake license, one year for having a fake voter’s card and one year for lying to the NIB worker. 

The sentences will run concurrently, so he will spend  a total of one year in prison.

Lexion will then be handed over to the Department of Immigration for deportation.
