The prosecution on Tuesday withdrew the charges of the illegal possession of marijuana against the female officer of the Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force, allowing her to escape without a criminal record.

However, when the case resumed against Acting Chief Magistrate Dexter Wason on Tuesday, her brother, an officer in the Immigration Department pleaded guilty to the charge.

The court heard that the police, armed with a search warrant, acted on certain intelligence and carried out a search of the home they shared in Bellevue.

The woman’s brother pleaded guilty to possession 19 marijuana plants almost four times the legal limit. It had a street value of under 34-hundred dollars. He was fined $4,000.00 with a month in which to pay the fine.

It is not clear what impact this development will have on the status of the ABDF officer, who is an attorney at law.
