Elderly Canadian jailed on drug charges in Jamaica
13 hours ago
KINGSTON, Jamaica — A 71-year-old Canadian woman caught with 3.6 kilograms of marijuana in her luggage at a Jamaican airport has been jailed for drug-smuggling.
Margueritta Lancaster-Reid will remain in jail for three months, unless she pays a $1,200 fine.
The woman dubbed "ganja granny" by local media was sentenced Friday by a court in Montego Bay.
She pleaded guilty to drug charges earlier in the week.
Police stopped Lancaster-Reid at Donald Sangster International Airport on March 28.
The Jamaica Observer newspaper says she told officers she was carrying "herbs" when the drug stash was found.
Police did not give a hometown for Lancaster-Reid, saying only that she is from Ontario.

Something has to be done to control these old criminals.

Hey be thankful that TSN doesn't broadcast bum darts tournaments.

I best be quiet or we'll see it on Spike or Pride by month's end. They'll broadcast nearly anything.
