Retail Ruth held for shoplifting; ex-LifeSport director arrested in US
Former LifeSport director and Ministry of Sport official Ruth Marchan has finally run afoul of the law.
By which, Mr Live Wire means the “real law” and not those gentle State-sponsored probes that sell newspapers and allow QCs and SCs to buy vacation homes but never lead to more prison inmates.
Marchan, never the brightest crayon in the box, made the one unforgivable error for a Trinidad and Tobago civil servant. She committed a crime on foreign soil and is now property of the United States justice system.

According to information from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, Marchan was charged for shoplifting retail items at a cost of US$300 or “grand theft third degree.”
There was an era when she probably wouldn’t bother signing a dodgy invoice for such a paltry cut. But these are hard times for the foot soldiers of the last People’s Partnership administration, who must now retrain themselves for life outside the Treasury.
Mr Live Wire cannot confirm that former Attorney General Anand Ramlogan is undergoing physical therapy to learn how to put his hand in his own pocket.
But clearly poor Marchan is still pining away for the day to day routine of life under former Sport Minister and DJ critic, Anil “Two Pull” Roberts.
Marchan’s case status was listed as “presentenced” which means that some poor sap in the Orange County Justice Department is investigating her history to determine if there are extenuating circumstances which should lessen or increase the harshness of the sentence.

Her role in the controversial LifeSport programme, which siphoned hundreds of millions of taxpayers’ money from Trinidad and Tobago citizens, should raise some eyebrows.
But wait until the United States’ justice system chances across Marchan’s online life and evidence of her hopping from wall to wall like Chris Brown with repeated, wanton, brazen abuse of English grammar.
It would be like Halloween all over again, minus the candy.
