A pregnant woman found herself before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Friday to answer to a charge of embezzlement.
Latoya Lovell, 29, of Georgetown, denied the allegation brought against her. Magistrate Leron Daly read the charge which alleged that between June 9 and September 16, 2017 in Georgetown, Lovell fraudulently embezzled $2.3 million taken into possession by her in the name of Stephen Electrical Agency.
The facts of the matter were not read to the court. However, the Attorney for the accused asked that bail be granted due to the fact that the defendant is seven months pregnant.
Police Prosecutor Harris objected to this based on the amount of money embezzled.
However, bail was granted to the accused in the sum of $100,000 and Lovell is expected to return to court on November 10 for reports.
