BARBADOS – Jamaican hairdresser sent to prison

A 21-year-old Jamaican hairdresser, who is accused of importing two kilos of cannabis into Barbados, has been remanded to Dodds prison.

Patricia Stephanie Rose of No.2 Springfield Road, Morant Bay, St Thomas appeared before Magistrate Douglas Frederick in the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court on Friday charged with possession, possession with intent to supply and trafficking of the illicit substance after she was nabbed at the Grantley Adams International Airport on September 27 with three packages of the drug in her handbag.

She was remanded to prison until October 5 after the prosecutor, Sergeant Martin Rock, objected to her bail on the basis that she may abscond, given that she is a non-national with no concrete ties to Bridgetown. (Barbados TODAY)
