Cabinet maker on cocaine rap

CHRISTOPHER Lawrence, a 24 year-old cabinet maker, was arrested for breaches of the Dangerous Drugs Act at the Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, St James Sunday.

Lawrence, who resides at Norwood in St James, has been charged with possession of, dealing in and taking steps to export cocaine.

The police reported yesterday that at about 9:00 am, Lawrence was about to board a flight destined to London. “His actions aroused the suspicion of security personnel that he had ingested a narcotic substance,” the Constabulary Communication Network said.

The police said that he was interviewed by narcotics agents and was taken to the Cornwall Regional Hospital where he passed out 59 pellets of cocaine, weighing just under a kilogram. He was subsequently charged.
