Man charged with buying groceries with used food stamps

Police charged a 48-year-old man with getting groceries by fraud.

Tyrone Todd pleaded guilty to fraud by false pretenses at his arraignment before Senior Magistrate Derence Rolle-Davis.

Prosecutors allege that Todd got $32 in goods from Super Value on Prince Charles Drive by using quality stamps that had already been redeemed.

Todd said that he didn’t know that the stamps had already been used.

Rolle-Davis adjourned the matter until September 28 so that he could see the stamps himself.

Also appearing in the same court was Emmanuel Johnson.

Prosecutors allege that Johnson, of Heritage Lane, burglarized the home of Christonia Knowles and stole a Samsung S-9 cellphone.

Johnson faced an alternative charge of receiving the stolen phone.

He was not required to enter pleas to the charges since he elected trial in the Supreme Court.

Johnson was remanded to prison and advised of his right to seek bail before a judge.

He next returns to court on June 16.
