The court heard that Jack had placed his sandals on his porch around 7:00 pm and returned the following day to find that his sandals were missing.
Jack said on April 1 he saw the defendant wearing the said sandals. Cupid was then arrested and subsequently charged.
Cupid, who appeared barefoot in court, was placed on a $1,000 bond for six months. He was also ordered to pay compensation of $185 in one month or spend three months in jail.(KW)
