St Catherine pastor faces stop order over US$12K undelivered Isuzu truck case

A minister in St Catherine who is accused of taking more than US$12,000 for a motor truck that never reached the buyer faced tighter bail terms when he returned to the St Catherine Parish Court on Tuesday.

Sean Green, 57, who serves as a pastor, faces counts of fraudulent conversion and failure to deliver a service. He was before Acting Senior Parish Court Judge Janelle Nelson-Gayle on 19 May, when the court added a stop order and a fingerprint order to the $300,000 station bail already in place.

The judge asked why Green had first received station bail even though investigators said he had been hard to locate before he was held. The officer leading the case said that earlier release was approved on humanitarian grounds because of illness.

Green’s bail now runs until 16 June 2026. His lawyers are to file submissions on why the fraudulent conversion count should not proceed.

Court papers allege that from 4 January to 26 January 2026, Green received US$12,132 from a complainant toward a 2010 Isuzu truck. The truck was due to be delivered, but neither the vehicle nor the funds were returned.

The complainant could not reach Green after repeated tries and went to Spanish Town police. That report opened an inquiry that ended in the pastor’s arrest and the charges now before the court.
