Troy Van Doimen, who police caught with over 30 pounds of marijuana at his Bartica home, did not waste the court’s time yesterday; when he stood before a city magistrate, he pleaded guilty to a trafficking charge, for which he was sentenced to four years in jail.
Van Doimen, 46, of Lot 51 Fifth Avenue, Bartica, was also fined $16.8 million, three times the value of the narcotics, after he admitted to having 14.61 kilogrammes of cannabis in his possession for trafficking.
The charge, which was read to the man by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, stated that the drugs were found in his possession at his home on Saturday.
