Tafari Tyson of Morning Star was charged with larceny and receiving stolen property contrary to sections of the Larceny Act. The charges were brought against him as a result of a report made at the Charlestown Police Station.
The report alleged that Lexine Tyson secured her store at Charlestown on Wednesday August 15, 2007 leaving among other products ten bottles of perfume oil. Upon her return on Thursday 16, 2007 she met a window open and five bottles of the perfume oils valued at $150.00 each missing.
On Monday August 20, 2007 officers visited the home of the defendant. He was cautioned.

He gave the person $25.00 and he got five bottles of oil.
The defendant said he heard that it was rumored that he broke a store so he went to look for the owner to return the oils. He did not find the owner so he left the oils with another person. The police recovered the oils from that person. He was convicted and fined $2500.00 to be paid in three months or serve six months in prison for receiving stolen property.
