DWAYNE Stafford of Ogleton Dam, Angoy’s Avenue, New Amsterdam was found with 50 grams of cannibas sativa in his pants crotch following a police raid near his home last week Friday.

He was sentenced to three years imprisonment after he pleaded guilty before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus at the New Amsterdam Court.
Police Sergeant Phillip Sherriff, prosecuting, said that police were on mobile patrol in vehicle PPP 4934 in the defendant’s hometown. While in the vicinity of his home, the defendant was seen acting suspiciously, and was stopped and searched by Constable Lynch, who unearthed a black plastic bag containing several transparent Ziploc bags which contained leaves, seeds, and stems suspected to be portions of the cannabis sativa plant. He was arrested and taken to Central Police Station where the illegal drug was weighed and charges instituted.
Meanwhile, although the defendant accepted the facts presented by the prosecution, he denied that the drug was weighed in his presence. However he pleaded guilty and asked for leniency.
