A WOMAN was fined $9,000 in court yesterday after she admitted to having over $10,000 worth of drugs and weed cookies in her home earlier this week.
Lindalee Alcenor, 26, and a second defendant stood before Magistrate Kara Turnquest-Deveaux on two counts of possession of dangerous drugs with intent to supply.
According to police reports, on February 7 around 6.30pm, officers acting on a search warrant entered the defendants’ residence on Maxwell Lane in the Rock Crusher Road area. Once inside the premises, authorities seized 4.8lb of Indian hemp as well as 115 marijuana infused cookies. These confiscated drugs have an estimated collective street value of $10,175.
In court, Alcenor pleaded guilty to the charge while her co-accused pleaded not guilty. Ms Alcenor was fined $9,000 for the offence. If she does not pay, she faces an 18-month prison sentence at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
Regarding the remaining defendant, the 36-year-old man was granted $7,000 bail with two sureties and informed that his case would go to trial on June 26.
