Glendon Bailey on Wednesday pleaded guilty in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court and was fined $160,000.
The popular entertainer and football coach, who goes by the stage name ‘Admiral Bailey’, was arrested and charged on February 23 with two counts of uttering forged documents, two counts of obtaining a passport by false pretence, two counts of possession of forged documents, and a count each of attempting to obtain a passport by false pretence and conspiracy to defraud.
According to the police, Bailey was held after he went to the Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency in Kingston where he attempted to renew a passport in the name Michael George Sullivan.
When Bailey appeared in court in March, his attorney, Tom Tavares-Finson, told Senior Magistrate Judith Pusey that the passport for which his client is charged is a document that he has been using for 30 years.
Wen dem going to stop use Tfinkle fi lawyah? dah man’s days of having his day in court and winning are long gone..from 1701..kmt
Right now Tom Tavares Finson And his son Get onE bag ah Clients and are rich mostly because of lather last name. That last name run tings In Jamaica
That was the best result possible for Admiral Bailey. If it was any other judge than RM Pusey he would be rubbing a couple days for fraud. That being said, he seems like a decent chap otherwise. Hope this is the last time we hear about him being in a courthouse.
