Dataram gets time served in US on drug indictment

Barry Dataram

Self-confessed drug trafficker Barry Dataram was late last month sentenced to time served on one count of a drug indictment he faced in a US court by Judge Edward R. Korman who also ordered a three-year supervised release.

The matter came to an end just over a year after he was held  by United States authorities after serving jail time here and travelling to the country he fought extradition to  many years ago.

At the time of his sentencing, Dataram was on US$500,000 bail and was initially confined to his home but court documents later revealed that he had a job and even sought more hours to be on the job through a letter to the court.
