Senior Magistrate Leron Daly yesterday sentenced a drug trafficker to three years imprisonment after she found him guilty of trafficking cocaine.
Forty-five-year-old Joseph Ramsay of Lot 14 Railway Line, Kitty, was on trial for a charge which read that on March 24, 2016 at Kitty, Georgetown, he had in his possession 25 1/2 grams of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.
The matter was prosecuted by Prosecutor Sanj Singh who called three witnesses. According to information, on the day in question around 22:20 hrs, police ranks, acting on information, went to Ramsay’s home where they made contact with him.
The court heard that a search was conducted in the man’s bedroom where several parcels of a whitish substance, suspected to be cocaine, were found in a black plastic bag in his chest of drawers.
The accused was told of the offence, arrested and taken to the Brickdam Police Station where he admitted in a caution statement to ownership of the cocaine.
The court heard that when the accused was questioned in relation to the narcotics he said “De thing is me own.”
Ramsay was also charged in March 2014, for having in his possession 19 grams of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.
