CITY Magistrate Leron Daly, on Thursday, May 09, 2019, sentenced a 29-year-old miner to serve four years’ imprisonment, after he was found guilty of drug trafficking.

Tishan Heywood of Third and Albert Streets, Alberttown, Georgetown, was on trial at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and was found guilty of having 56 kilograms 700 grams of cannabis in his possession for the purpose of trafficking on December 6, 2017, at his home.
Heywood was represented by attorney-at-law Glenn Hanoman while police prosecutor Richard Harris led evidence.

Magistrate Daly ruled that prosecutor Harris had proved his case beyond reasonable doubt.
Prosecutor Harris had told the court that Heywood was long suspected to be a drug trafficker, and that the police, during a stakeout on the day in question, saw him removing three ‘salt bags’ from a car.

They moved in just as Heywood was ‘stashing’ the bags with the drugs inside a chicken pen in his yard.
