Kevin Bodden

An inmate was busted with cannabis while he was inside a courtroom. Twenty-two old Kevin Bodden managed to beat a murder rap a year ago, but was recently convicted of Grievous Harm and sentenced to three years imprisonment. But Bodden is now looking at another year behind bars after pleading guilty to possession of a control drugs, that being forty grams of cannabis which he was caught with while inside the courtroom of Chief Magistrate, Anne Marie Smith. The bust took place this past Wednesday morning when Bodden was in court for an old robbery charge. He was seen acting suspiciously after an individual handed him an item that he placed in his pocket which turned out to be cannabis. Bodden was removed immediately from the court room and taken to the Queen Street Police Station. In imposing sentence, he was told that his actions were a blatant disrespect to the court.
