Prisoner hides drugs in anus, jailed for three years

Jun 27, 2012 News

People try various methods to ferry drugs to their intended destinations, even using discreet and private parts of their bodies.
A convicted prisoner who was so determined to enter the New Amsterdam prison with a quantity of marijuana found out that wherever you hide the drugs you may still be caught.
That was the situation with convicted prisoner Tameshwar Persaud, an inmate of the New Amsterdam Prison and of Look Out, Parika, East Bank, Essequibo. He was nabbed on June 4, last.
According to prosecutor Corporal Roberto Figueira, on the day in question, Persaud was among a group of prisoners taken out of the Penitentiary to run an errand.
At the completion of the day’s task the prisoners were returned to the prison where they were checked before being allowed into the prison. When Persaud was checked he had a black Plastic bag hidden in his anus.
The bag, when retrieved and checked, contained leaves, seeds and stems of the marijuana plant.
He was arrested and charged. He pleaded guilty. Before being sentenced he begged the Magistrate for a small sentence.
The man was expected to be released from jail soon.
