A 63-year-old Baramita mechanic, Kevin Bess, is sentenced to 12 months in prison and fined more than $2 million after pleading guilty to charges of possessing narcotics for the purpose of trafficking. Both outlets report he receives the prison term and the financial penalty following the case.
The reports link the charges to drugs found in Bess’s possession on 29 August 2026 at Warapa. Kaieteur News specifies the quantities involved, stating investigators found 1,180.7 grams of cannabis and 23.1 grams of cocaine. Guyana Chronicle also describes the guilty plea and the two charges but provides fewer operational details.
Across the two accounts, the central points align: Bess’s identity as a Baramita mechanic known as “Generator Man,” the two counts of possession for trafficking, the resulting 12-month jail term, and the fine totalling just over $2 million, with exact amounts presented slightly differently by each outlet.
