Foursquare man gets suspended drug sentence

A High Court judge has imposed a suspended sentence of two years and 204 days on Michael Williams who admitted to possession, trafficking and importing more than 56 kilogrammes of cannabis in two separate operations.

Acknowledging that he played a secondary role in the drug-smuggling operations, Justice Laurie-Ann Smith-Bovell suspended Williams’ sentence, warning him that should he commit a later offence, he would have to serve the full term in prison.

Williams, of Foursquare Valley, St Philip, had previously pleaded guilty in the No. 4 Supreme Court that, between December 25, 2012, and January 10, 2013, he possessed, had a traffickable quantity of, and imported 14.99 kilogrammes of cannabis.
