Maxwell Mensah, a trader from Assin Foso was on Wednesday fined GH¢20.00 by the Assin Foso district magistrate’s court for selling drinks to the public without medical certificate of fitness.
Mensah, who pleaded guilty, would go to prison for one month in default.
Prosecuting, Mr David Kobina Amoah of the Assin Foso district Environmental Health office told the court that sometime in October 2007, Environmental health officials were on routine duties when they arrested Mensah selling drinks to the public without a medical certificate of fitness as required by law.
Meanwhile court on Wednesday also bonded four men from Assin Endwa to be of good behaviour for one year following an assault on one Yaw Nkrumah.
The convicts, Agyenim Boateng, farmer, Vincent Boateng, student, Isaac Odoom, student, and Francis Owusu Tawia, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit crime, assault and causing unlawful harm, would go to jail for six months in default.
Prosecuting, Chief Inspector Robert Essiam told the court, presided over by Mr Joseph Blay that both Yaw Nkrumah and the convicts were relatives residing at Assin Endwa.
He said on September 16, 2006, there was a family meeting during which a misunderstanding ensued and in the process Mr Nkrumah and one Kwasi Addae beat Agyenim Boateng.
He said Boateng informed his brother Francis Owusu Tawia and his children who mobilized themselves and confronted Mr Nkrumah and demanded to know why he and Kwasi Addae beat their father.
He said not satisfied with the explanation, the convicts also heckled Mr Nkrumah, put him on the ground and in the process Francis Owusu Tawiah slashed Nkrumah in the stomach with a knife.
Chief inspector Essiam said the matter was reported to the police and Mr Nkrumah was issued with a medical report to attend hospital at Foso where he was admitted for three days.
