Karen Small, 19, of Angoy’s Avenue (Cow Dam) who was found with a quantity of marijuana in her private parts while at the Central Police Station, was on Wednesday sentenced to three years in jail by Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo.
The teen had appeared at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s  Court to answer a charge of possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.
Inspector Jairam Ramlakhan stated that on August 13, last, the police were on patrol duties in the Angoy’s Avenue area when they noticed some suspicious movements in a shop in the area. Small and four boys were in the shop. They were subsequently searched, but nothing was found.
The woman was invited to the Central police station where she was again searched by a female police rank. During the search a white plastic bag was found in her vagina. The bag contained 15 small zip Lock bags with leaves, seeds and stems suspected to be marijuana.
The contents were tested and weighed and found to be 22 grams of cannabis sativa. She was subsequently charged and placed before the courts.  She had pleaded not guilty and was remanded.
Small was subsequently placed on $175,000 bail and was required to report to the Central Police station every Monday.
In addition to the three years in jail she was also fined $26,400 or spend a further three weeks in jail.
