Former Reggae Boy Hector Wright and wife charged in cocaine seizure

ST JAMES, Jamaica — Former Reggae Boy Hector Wright and his wife, Jodi-Ann, have been charged following an alleged drug seizure at their Catherine Hall, Montego Bay home on Thursday, January 29.

The former professional footballer, who now works as a coach, and his wife are charged with possession of cocaine and dealing in cocaine.

Reports are that about 1:15 pm, an operation was conducted at the couple’s two-story dwelling. During a search of the premises, officers reportedly discovered containers with suspicious substances.

Investigators from the Firearms and Narcotics Investigation Division (FNID) were alerted, and during their inspection of the substance, it was revealed to be more than 20 pieces of crack cocaine.

The couple were taken into custody and charged.

They are scheduled to appear in court on February 25.
