May 07, 2009 News

Roshel Smith, 32, of Vreed-en-Hoop, West Coast Demerara, who admitted to having in his possession seven grams of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment by Magistrate Faith Mc Gusty, yesterday.
Smith, along with his reputed wife, Camika Crawford, was jointly charged with possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking. The man pleaded guilty while Crawford entered a not guilty plea.
Inspector Oswald Pitt, who prosecuted the matter, subsequently withdrew the charge against Crawford.
According to a police report, both Smith and Crawford were at Akara Kuru Landing, Buck Hall. The police, acting on information, searched the hut in which the couple was.
While the law officers were conducting their investigations, Smith threw a plastic bag with the illegal substance on the floor.
Counsel Dyal Singh who made representation on behalf of both parties told the court that Smith was aware of the penalty of the offence after he had pleaded guilty. He also said that Smith was more concerned about his child and reputed wife and was intent on bearing the responsibility and facing the consequences.
