Minister’s drunk driving case adjourned

ROLSTONANGLIN210X277Deputy Cayman Islands Premier, Hon. Rolston Anglin’s drunk-driving sentencing has been adjourned to 26th March. He was due to be sentenced last Tuesday (20) but the Minister is off Island in Brazil attending a hedge fund conference.

He at first pleaded “Not Guilty” to Driving Under the Influence when he was arrested by Royal Cayman Island Police Service officers in the early morning hours of 23rd May 2012. His car left the road and crashed into bushes by the Avalon condos and when police officers arrived a mystery woman was sitting in the passenger seat of his car. The woman disappeared shortly after when she was driven back by one of the police officers to her hotel and was not seen again. Anglin could not assist as he said he knew nothing about her except she was a delegate attending a Caribbean conference.

Anglin also gave three different versions to the police as to how the accident happened and then suddenly changed his plea to guilty and apologized to the Cayman public saying he accepted full responsibility for his actions. He had prayed a lot before coming this decision.

It was in the best interest to put aside the issue so he could continue to serve the Cayman people, he said and has not referred to the incident since.
