MONTEGO BAY, St James — A bid by Darin Austin to travel to London, England, landed him in trouble with the law after 36 pounds of cocaine were reportedly found in his suitcase at Sangster International Airport.
Austin appeared in the St James Parish Court on Wednesday before Senior Parish Judge Natiesha Fairclough-Hylton facing charges of possession of cocaine, dealing in cocaine, and attempting to export cocaine. He is represented by attorney Martyn Thomas.
The allegations stem from July 17 when Austin was preparing to board a flight to London. According to the allegations, anomalies detected in his suitcase prompted airport personnel to conduct a search.
