ST MARY, Jamaica – Sixty-six-year-old Justice of the Peace and former Parish Manager of the Social Development Commission (SDC) in St Mary, Jeanette Rose-Bryan, was Wednesday charged with several offences under the Larceny Act when she appeared in the Port Maria Resident Magistrate’s Court.
Rose-Bryan was charged with obtaining money by means of false pretenses, fraudulent conversion and conspiracy to defraud after she was implicated with a senior member of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, DSP Denise McKain, who was arrested and charged on August 5, 2015 for similar offences by detectives assigned to the Major Organised Crime and Anti- Corruption Agency (MOCA).
It is alleged that, during the period 2009 to 2012, Rose-Bryan and McKain used an unregistered organisation to fraudulently solicit and obtain money from farmers of the Three Hills Farm district in St Mary.
A report was made to the then police Anti-Corruption Branch and an investigation was launched.
A file was prepared and sent to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for a ruling, after which McKain was charged. Further investigations led to the arrest and charge of Rose-Bryan.
McKain was offered bail in the sum of $250,000, with one or two sureties. She is scheduled to reappear in court on Wednesday, October 28.
Rose-Bryan reappeared in the Port Maria Resident Magistrate’s Court Wednesday and was offered bail in the sum of J$ 250,000. She is to surrender her travel documents and report to the police on Mondays between 6:00 am and 6:00 pm, as part of her bail conditions.

MATH PUZZLE : Here's The Answer To That Fruit Math Puzzle That's Driving Everyone Coconuts.... What's half a coconut plus one apple plus three bananas? Is the answer 12, 14, 16, 18 or 20. Go to www.RulaBrownNetwork.com for the correct answer.

 02/18/2016 02:01 am ET It's one of those Facebook posts that's all over the place, and -- like " the dress " or the  hidden panda  -- everyone seems to have a different take on it.  What is half a coconut plus one apple plus three bananas?  On the surface, it would seem the apple has a value of 10, the bananas a value of four and the coconut a value of two. And if that were the end of the story, the answer would be 2 + 10 + 4 = 16.  But in the final frame, the fruit are slightly different.  There is half a coconut, instead of two halves in the earlier example equation that establishes a value of two. And instead of the four bananas representing the value of four, there are just three bananas.  If the numbers are reduced along with the portions of fruit, you get a totally different answer: 1 + 10 + 3 = 14.   Which is the correct answer? Like the dress, the answer is in how you see it.... See Rula Brown'...
