Dec 21, 2012 News

 

Forty-two year-old Audrey Cummings, of St. John Street, New Amsterdam, who was charged with possession of narcotics, was yesterday sentenced to one year in jail by Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo, at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s court.
The case for the prosecution as presented by Corporal Orin Joseph was that on October 7, 2011, the police were on patrol when they received certain information. They then proceeded to the woman’s home where they conducted a search. In the interim, Cummings was behaving in a suspicious manner. She was also indisciplined.
Cummings was arrested and taken to the Central Police Station, New Amsterdam. As a female police officer was about to search the suspect, the woman put her hands in her crotch and pulled out the drugs which she dropped on the floor.  She then denied that she had the drugs in her possession.
The item was collected tested and weighed and found to be two grams of cocaine. She was charged.
Cummings, a single parent of minors, was said to have no previous conviction.
