MEMBERS of the Police Narcotics Branch on Monday succeeded in nabbing another drug mule who had ingested cocaine pellets, and was about to board a LIAT flight at the Ogle International Airport. 

According to information reaching the Guyana Chronicle, Guyanese Stephon James Watson, 28, was an outgoing passenger on LIAT flight 512 destined for Antigua when he was observed by narcotics ranks sweating profusely.

The man was then approached, taken into a room and questioned. He reportedly admitted that he had swallowed several pellets of cocaine. He was then rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he is at present under police guard.
Recent reports indicate that the man, up to noon yesterday, had passed several pellets containing cocaine, but it is still unclear how many pellets he ingested.
Police sources reported that Monday would have been the man’s fourth trip to Antigua, and that he was described as a frequent flyer. The man is also said to be in the business of furniture manufacture.
