He is an Antiguan! He comes from a good family and is a Customs Officer. Just goes to show crime can be committed from all walks of life. Hope he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
That’s how all the drugs coming in. They need to string him up post haste.
How was it not mentioned that he is a customs officer?
Lmaooo did you read the headline?🤣🤣😭😭
He and them deceptive pretty eyes. What a snake in the grass. Reminds me of Ralph Gonsalves.
You guys cracking me up. Poor Ralph
Lol
This guy is very arrogant and boast about having plenty money. Should be plenty jail time now.
Yes, this fool needs to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and they they need to got after all the big boys involved in the drug trade. The big boys, of course, will need to face the hangman’s noose.

But bear in mind that the weed was not found growing in his backyard he brought it in!!! It seems like maybe he had your portion in there too because I can’t believe you condoning this BS!!

Is Antigua a drugs haven? Is it a transshipment center opened to whosoever will may come.Lately, there have been large quantities of drugs being found by Customs.
@Mary John:IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO IMPORT AND OR EXPORT WEED.GROW YOUR 4 DAMN TREES AND SMOKE YOUR LIVES AWAY AS THE LAW SO ALLOWS.YOU CANNOT CULTIVATE IT FOR RESALE.YOU WOULD DEEMED TO BE A “DRUGS DEALER” THEN,IN ANTIGUA.
Cuz dem a try hide it!!! That was suppose to be the headline!!! Customs officer charged in drug bust
That was the headline. Read again.
To be fair we changed the headline after we confirmed that he is a Customs Officer.
Every time I hear someone caught for importation of cannabis, I wonder if they are not aware of the fact that people can grow four plants for free here. And they can have 15 gram without being arrested. We therefore do not need importers of the plant. You can bring the seed if you want to plant a better one.
Dammm despite of what drugs he may have been caught with this youth is a good father . He is Antiguan..A good youth , we sometimes make stupid mistakes. Hold your head up alli. I’m just sorry you got caught up in this mess
