The family of Las Cuevas resident Chad Joseph is questioning why his relation to deceased drug lord Vaughn “Sandman” Mieres is surfacing now.
Joseph is believed to have been one of two TT citizens killed when US forces bombed a boat off Venezuela’s coast. He is the nephew of Mieres, who was charged with being a gang leader during the 2011 state of emergency, but was released for lack of evidence.
In 2018 he was arrested and charged with possession of arms and ammunition and was released on $250,000 bail.
