19 year old inmate gets extra year for drug charge

A man who was serving one of two years in prison for drug trafficking was sentenced to an extra year in prison for another drug trafficking incident. Today, nineteen year old Charles Leslie appeared in Magistrates’ Court where he was found guilty of possession of forty point six grams of cannabis. Magistrate Edd Usher stipulated that the sentence was to run consecutively to any other sentence he is serving and as a result Leslie will now spend a total of three years behind bars. The incident occurred on December eleventh, 2007 when Leslie fled from police after he was sighted on George Street. Police caught up with him and when a search was conducted the drugs were found in his pocket.
