Antigua News Room- One of the men charged in a major drug bust at Deep Water Harbour this year was told he was free to go today.

In July, Police jointly charged Burrell and Everton Fitzroy Pinnock with Importation of 59 ¾ pounds of Cannabis, Possession of Cannabis, Possession of Cannabis with intent to transfer, Being concerned in the supplying of Cannabis, Drugs Trafficking and Conspiracy.
The illegal substance was reportedly discovered inside three television boxes at Deep Water Harbour on Monday 20th July, during a drugs operation between Customs and Police.
Police said the packages were seized and both men later arrested.
The crown is continuing its case against co-accused Pinnock.

The police needs to stop making such grave errors. There perhaps needs to be a shakeup in the investigating team.
Do you think any evidence for this case was burnt or damaged in the fire at C.I.D ? Lol just asking. Hey give it up for the former top cop who is now fighting cops. Let’s see if police headquarters have a fire also.
Just a little humor
Was this man arrested and charged because of association? The old folks always did say.You are known by the company you keep.
The package came in his name, he went to collect and claimed he didn’t know what was inside
He makes police clothes so a friend and company
Former commissioner doing good.
The former commissioner knows all the tricks they use and exactly how to beat them at their game.
Patrick orders police uniform from Jamaica.
Co-accused takes the rap perhaps with a little encouragement.
No point in two people suffering for such small amount.
So Patrick lives to fight another day.
One of these days luck will run out you can be sure of that.
The police know what they know but evidence is needed in court especially now Robby on the seen.
Patrick is a scum of the earth and regargless of who know who and whatever strings were pulled, Jah nar sleep dread. Your sins will catch up with you and i hope you’re reading this. Karma will visit you sooner than you expect.
I heard on a radio station news today. He went to Customs to clear the goods. He found the items and alerted the Customs Officer who then called the Police. So if that is the true story. Why did they charge him. His Lawyer is saying. He intends to file a lawsuit against the Police.All of you would know his Lawyer.A former COP.
