Overview
- Mary Robinson, 69, was arrested Dec. 2 on Royal Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas in Nassau after police found a loaded Kel-Tec .380 pistol with four rounds in her purse.
- She pleaded guilty before Magistrate Lennox Coleby, and her attorney negotiated an $8,000 fine with a 24-month default sentence if it went unpaid.
- Because the fine was not paid immediately, she spent about five to six days at Fox Hill Prison before the payment was made and she was released.
- A GoFundMe organized by her granddaughter raised more than $12,000 by Dec. 9 to cover the fine and related costs.
- The firearm apparently passed screening at Port Everglades, port officials say cruise lines handle security, Fox Hill has documented harsh conditions, and Royal Caribbean did not comment.
