As police intensify their campaign against known drug pushers and target the many drug blocks in Berbice they have nabbed another drug dealer. But the man did put up a fight before he could be subdued.
Eon Williams of Angoy’s Avenue New Amsterdam, Berbice was sentenced to a three-year jail term and fined an additional $10,000 with an alternative of a further three weeks in jail by Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo.
Williams had pleaded guilty to a charge of possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.
On Friday March 8, last, the police were on mobile patrol in the Angoy’s Avenue area when they noticed Williams leaving a shop. Upon seeing the cops he retreated into the shop and made a dash for it through a back entrance. He was chased by the police and subsequently apprehended with a black plastic bag in his hand which he tried to discard.
The contents of the bag were checked and what appeared to be leaves, seeds and stems of the marijuana plant were found inside. He was taken into custody and the contents of the bag were checked and weighed, and found to be 33 grams of marijuana.
He told the court after being asked if he had anything to say, “When they done they gone still lie and jail you. Whatever them say is dat.”
