MONTEGO BAY, St James — Forty-two-year-old Carmelia Duncan was fined $100,000 for presenting false information on her passport application, when she appeared before St James Parish Court on Wednesday.

The St James resident pleaded guilty to making a false declaration.

According to court documents, immigration officials discovered that Duncan was the subject of double identity and summoned her for an interview at the Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency (PICA) sometime this month.

The system showed that a passport in the name Juliann Lekeisha Green was issued to her on June 26, 2003, but it was never used.

During the interview Duncan disclosed that she travelled to the United Kingdom in 2001, overstayed, and was later removed.

According to her, she was assisted in obtaining another passport under a different name but did not receive it.

In passing sentence, Presiding Judge Sasha-Marie Smith-Ashley took into account Duncan’s early guilty plea, age, previous good record and the fact that the passport had never been used.

The judge then ordered her to pay a fine of $100,000 or spend 30 days in jail.
