Christmas in jail for drug dealer

Dec 06, 2018 News

A drug dealer who was hoping to catch a quick raise for the holidays has caught jail instead. He was nabbed whilst on his way to Georgetown with a quantity of narcotics in a car.
In court he pleaded guilty and was jailed for three years and fined $577,500.
Clive Lionel Charles, 45, of Mai Mai Dam, Angoy’s Avenue, New Amsterdam, Berbice, was jailed by Magistrate Rhondell Weaver when he appeared before her at the Fort Wellington Magistrate’s Court and pleaded guilty to the charge of possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.
The matter was prosecuted by Woman Police Corporal Racquel Mars.
The convict who told the Court that he works as a miner and a labourer was among a number of passengers in motor car HC 7859 which was on its way to Georgetown on Wednesday November 28.
In the vicinity of the Weldaad Police Station the car was stopped by the police who were conducting a stop and search exercise. The passengers were told to disembark. A black and orange haversack was seen resting in the area of the front passenger seat of the car.
The police sought the owner of the bag which was subsequently claimed by Charles. The bag was opened and a black plastic bag with what appears to be seeds, leaves and stem of the marijuana Plant was found inside.
Charles was arrested and taken into custody. The bag was weighed and the contents tested and found to be 384 grams of marijuana. He was subsequently charged.
