Monrovia - Defendant Estella Toteh, 49, found guilty of theft of property, has been sentenced to eight years at the Monrovia Central Prison by the Brewerville Magisterial Court, outside of Monrovia. The woman was sentenced Wednesday, March 28, after being tried and found guilty by the court presided over by Associate Magistrate Fallah Matthews. Police officer Carter had said this in his formal complaint filed to the Brewerville Magistrate Court following the arrest of defendant Estella Toteh arraigned on order of the court. The court record furthers that defendant Toteh was unable to offer the Police officer the visa after receiving the money, the action that prompted him to issue a lawsuit against her. With Brewerville being the first court of instance by law, defendant Toteh has the right under the law to announce an appeal to the Circuit Court against the ruling of Magistrate Matthews.
