A 29-year-old man from St Michael is fined $30,000 after pleading guilty to trafficking and importing cannabis. Lynson Henderson Cox, of Lewis Gap, St Michael, enters the plea in connection with charges brought by the Narcotics Unit of the Barbados Police Service.
Police say the matter began on July 13, when officers seize about eight kilogrammes of suspected cannabis. One report states the seized cannabis is valued at $128,000. After the seizure, Cox is formally charged, and he later pleads guilty to the trafficking and importation offences.
The outlets provide consistent details on the defendant’s age and location, the amount seized, the charges (trafficking and importing), and the fine imposed. The main variation is the way sources describe the cannabis’ estimated value, rather than any differences in the core outcome of the case.
