Spencer appeared in court on Friday and pleaded guilty to entering the country illegally and for falsifying an entry in his passport.

He also asked that a fine be imposed.

However, Chief Magistrate Sonia Young said she was remanding Spencer, so she could get more information on him from authorities in Antigua.

SEARCHLIGHT understands that Spencer has been in the country since last year.
