Sojo Nedd of Queenstown, Georgetown, was sentenced to four years imprisonment after she was found guilty of  a charge of trafficking in narcotics.
In addition, she was fined four times the value of the 400 grammes of cannabis sativa, which she had in her possession on January 24, 2008, whilst in a minibus.
Investigators told the court that the value of the illegal plant was $ 80,000, and so she was fined $320,000.
Nedd, who was convicted in absentia by Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo, in the New Amsterdam Court ,was a passenger in a minibus which was stopped at a road block close to the New Amsterdam Technical Institute.
The mother of four identified her bag to the cops on duty, and calmly related that it contained marijuana, and that she be given a chance as it was a ‘little hussle’.
She was arrested and taken to Central police Station where charges were instituted.
