ST ANN, Jamaica – A US citizen was one of two men arrested and charged in St Ann earlier this week for possession of and dealing in ganja.
Blake Magnus, a 25-year-old trip advisor of South Carolina, USA was charged along with Trevor Donegan, a 25-year-old entrepreneur of Old Hope Road in St Andrew.
Both men were arrested and charged on Tuesday, January 19, after the vehicle in which they were travelling was stopped by the police and searched at about 3:30pm in the vicinity of Island Village, Ocho Rios.
