Simone Samuels, 40, of Georgetown who is serving a three-year sentence for trafficking in narcotics and was expected to be released in April, told the court that she has her children at heart. But the woman may end up serving more time in the penal institution after she was caught with a quantity of marijuana recently, while still in jail.
The woman, on Monday, appeared before Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo at the New Amsterdam Court and pleaded guilty to the charge of possession of narcotics.
The court was told by Prosecutor Corporal Orin Joseph that on Wednesday November 28, last, while in the prison compound the woman was seen acting in a suspicious manner. She was challenged by prison officials and searched.
What appeared to be leaves, seeds and stems of the marijuana plant was found concealed in a plastic bag in her skirt pocket. She was arrested and the substance was tested, weighed and found to be nine grams of marijuana.
The accused was remanded until Friday, January 18, when she will have to return for sentencing.
