After being freed of simple larceny, a woman yesterday vowed to sue the state for arresting and charging her with the theft of five tins of cheese.

Sandra Holding, a labourer of Spanish Town, was freed by Parish Judge Tara Reid-Carr due to lack of evidence.

"Oh Lord!," Holding exclaimed before leaving the courtroom with a broad smile.

"It has been two years of living hell, as I have never been to that place much less to steal anything," she told The STAR.
