The Samoa District Court has slapped the A'ana Alofi No. 4 MP Toeolesulusulu Cedric Schuster, with a $2,000 fine.
He was also discharged without conviction. The sentence was handed down by District Court Judge Alalatoa Rosella Papalii.
Toeolesulusulu pleaded guilty to three related traffic offences through his lawyer Muriel Lui in July.
Toeolesulusulu was named the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment and Minister of Tourism during the FAST party May 24 swearing-in ceremony.
However immediately after the charges was filed, he stepped down as a Cabinet Minister.
The Samoa Global reached out to Toesulusulu for comments via email, however there has been no response.
