THIRTY-ONE-YEAR-OLD Warren Williams of Herstelling, East Bank Demerara was arrested on Saturday after police allegedly found two pounds (almost 1070 grammes) of cannabis in his possession.

According to a police statement, ranks of Regional Division #3, acting on information received, arrested Williams at a bus shed at Anna Catherina, West Coast Demerara.

The police officers stated that when they arrived at the location they saw a man, later identified as Williams, holding a bulky, black plastic bag.

A rank approached him and indicated that he would like to conduct a search on his person for anything illegal. Williams, who is a clerk employed at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, agreed.

While conducting the search, the officer took possession of the bulky, black plastic bag and, after opening it, found a parcel wrapped in brown scotch tape with the Simpsons’ family cartoon logo on it.

Subsequently, a rank cut open the parcel in the presence of Williams and found a quantity of leaves, seeds and stems suspected to be cannabis.

Williams was then arrested and escorted to the Leonora Police Station. In his presence, the cannabis was weighed and amounted to two pounds.

Investigations are ongoing.
