The man that was arrested on Monday at V. C. Bird International Airport deserves exactly what he received. He knew it was illegal, it doesn’t matter who you are, the law is the law. follow it .I would like to congratulate the custom officers, work well done.
that is so true, she don’t realize he is not from Antigua. beside you cannot go to a next country and walk with drugs in your possession and think that you will not get caught. well custom offers and k9 unit. also you disgrace your fellow cricketer’s shame on you.
He just cheap. 13 grams? He deserve to get arrested.
You can see from his lips he is smoker. Don’t they do drug test on these players.
I cannot believe the type of comments I am reading. I know this is not a communist country and people can say whatever they like, but my goodness I never realized that Antigua and Barbuda were inhabited by so many uneducated and lawless inhabitants. The law is the law follow it. Most inhabitants in Antigua and Barbuda are lawless people, they act as barbarians. They want to be wrong and still strong.
He is not yet convicted but on the surface of the news report, he is liable to be prosecuted. It is reasonable to assume that he was knowingly I’m possession of the narcotics, knowing that it was an offence. He is a regional cricketer, and should have known that high social standards were expected from him. Were his mentor/coach(es) delinquent in shaping his mindset through education and counselling? The cricket fraternity has to relook at the contents of the training manual.
