Drug running teen changes plea, jailed

Feb 16, 2019 News

A teenager who was caught with a quantity of drugs in a motorcar on December 3, last, and had pleaded not guilty, changed his plea yesterday and was sentenced to three years in jail.
Delroy Paul, 18, of Adelphi Village, East Canje, Berbice, was handed the sentence by Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh, when he appeared before him in the Weldaad Magistrate’s Court, West Coast Berbice.
The case for the Prosecution as presented by Prosecutor Corporal Racquel Mars, was that on the day in question, the teen was the lone passenger in motorcar HC 7904, which was heading towards Georgetown.
He was in the front passenger seat when they were stopped by police who were manning a roadblock on the Weldaad Public Road. Upon searching the car, the police noticed a camouflage bag on the floor of the vehicle between Delroy’s feet.
The bag when retrieved by ranks and checked, was found to contain five transparent plastic parcels with what appeared to be leaves, seeds and stems of the marijuana plant.
Delroy was arrested and taken into custody where the suspected narcotic was tested and weighed and found to be 2047grams of marijuana.
Delroy, who is well known to the authorities and was recently released from prison, was subsequently charged.
