A WOMAN who was caught chewing cocaine will return, for sentencing today, before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton. Jusinta Anton, who pleaded guilty to being in possession of half a gramme of the narcotic, was remanded to prison overnight.
The substance was concealed in a transparent plastic bag when the defendant was apprehended at Lethem, Rupununi, on May 16, said Prosecuting Police Corporal, Simone Payne said.
The prosecutor said Anton was seen acting in a suspicious manner and, when an officer ordered her to open her mouth, the drug was found.
The convict told the court that she accepts the police facts.
