Sojo Nedd, 24, of Queenstown, Georgetown, was sentenced to four years imprisonment after she was found guilty of narcotics trafficking yesterday.
Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo imposed a monetary fine of $320,000—four times the value of the 400 grammes of cannabis sativa which Nedd had in her possession on January 24, 2008.
The mother of four was in a Zone 63A motor minibus, BJJ4755, which was stopped at a police road block in the vicinity of New Amsterdam Technical Institute.
The passenger identified her bag to the sleuths while relating that it contained marijuana. She reportedly called it a “little hustle.”
She pleaded for a chance but was arrested and taken to Central Police Station where charges were instituted.
