– husband telephones cops to ‘work something out’

A New Amsterdam man who tried to bribe the police after his wife was caught red-handed with a quantity of drugs at their Charles Place home has been placed behind bars pending trial after his plans went awry.
The man, Fidel Fitzgerald Glasgow, 32, pleaded guilty to possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking, before Magistrate Chandra Sohan at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court and his sentence has since been deferred.
Information reaching this newspaper stated that the police in Berbice, after carrying out surveillance on some suspected drug running blocks in the area, conducted a raid on the couple’s lot 25-4 Charles Place, New Amsterdam residence on Thursday last and caught his reputed wife Pulmattie Harricharran, 40, called ‘Shorty’, red-handed as she was tending to the drugs that were spread out on two zinc sheets in the hall of the house.
The drugs (marijuana) when weighed amounted to 2,300 grams.
The woman was arrested and taken to the Central Police Station.
Glasgow was not at home at the time of the raid and upon learning of his wife’s arrest, he sent some of his contacts the following morning to enquire of the police what could be done.
He subsequently got hold of the police numbers and made a series of calls to the cops telling them to “meet with him, so that they can work something out and to set them right”.
The deal was finalized and as the convict turned up for the arranged meeting at a restaurant, he was held by some undercover policemen who were on the stakeout.
In court, after pleading guilty, Glasgow told the Magistrate that the drug was his and he had collected it for safe keeping.
He further explained that he and a friend, Gerald, had brought it down from the Berbice River.
The Magistrate deferred sentence to March 27.
His wife, Harricharran, a mother of two and a waitress at a Chinese restaurant, pleaded not guilty and was remanded to prison until the same date.
