Farmer accused of attempting to smuggle ganja into Black River lock-up charged

ST ELIZABETH, Jamaica— A woman was arrested and charged after she reportedly attempted to smuggle ganja into the Black River lock- up on Saturday.

Charged with possession and dealing in ganja is 30-year-old Shareen Barrett, a farmer of Mountainside, St Elizabeth.

Information received is that Barrett went to the police station to visit a prisoner at the lock- ups and had several bags of chips and other food items. Checks were made and 81 sticks of ganja were found disguised in the products.

Barrett was taken into custody and subsequently charged

She is scheduled to appear before the court on Wednesday, October 4.
