T&T: Crabs less trouble than ganja

His attorney told the court that he had been hunting crabs when he found a crocus bag with several packets of marijuana and took it, and 'flagged down' a car that was passing.

That was the explanation 53-year-old Daniel Guy, of Bon Accord, offered the Scarborough Second Court last week Wednesday when he pleaded guilty to being in possession of trafficking.

Guy, who was represented by attorney-at-law Lennox Phillips, was before Magistrate Joan Gill charged with being in possession of three packets of compressed marijuana amounting to 3.2 kilogrammes at Canoe Bay roadway in the wee hours of last week Tuesday, March 9.
