ST JOHN’S, Antigua – A wheelchair-bound Jamaican man and three others have been detained by police after lawmen stationed at VC Bird International Airport busted him, on Sunday, with over 20 pounds of cannabis as he disembarked a flight from Jamaica.
The drugs were allegedly found stashed in his battery-operated wheelchair.
As the 27 year old approached the Immigration desk, the police carried out a routine check of his person and property and discovered 20 and three quarter pounds of the contraband in the two large power supply batteries attached to the chair.
The drug reportedly has an estimated street value of $83,000.
The three people who were awaiting the suspect’s arrival at the airport were detained. Two of them are Jamaicans and the other is an Antiguan national of Swetes Village.
Up to press time the quartet was in police custody but no charges had been filed.

If no drugs was found, that would be another case before the ccj claiming harassment by Antigua Immigration Officers. I can just picture the headlines “Antigua Immigration harasses disabled Jamaican National”
Thank you guys for a job well done I prefer you be aggressive and wrong than to be passive and made a fool.

Was he really disabled or on a free ride?

This is what free movement does to a small country like antigua; a referendum should have been put to the citizens of antigua before the stupid authorities made it law. Jamaicans and other outsiders are destroying antigua. We antiguans are not use to this lifestyle, it is alien to us and we should not tolerate it.

That lone antiguan should be made to do some extremely hard time for helping outsiders in destroying our one peaceful and tranquil island. As for the others I’ve ranted on and on about them in the past, them and their fellow country men. Get them to Hell out of my country!

I am so sick and tired of people, who show no respect to other people’s country. It is time for new laws, to make punishment of such crimes more severe. Antiguans should be up in arms from these constant practices. There is enough problem as it is, without turning the country into a dumping ground for drugs. Leave your dam drugs in Jamaica and let it destroy your own country, not others.
