High-grade water

A woman who attempted to smuggle five pounds of marijuana to Antigua pleaded guilty when she appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday.

Chantal Royal is charged with possession of, dealing in and taking steps to export marijuana. The court was told that on the day in question, Royal was preparing to board a flight to Antigua when she was stopped and searched. The drug was found in a box labelled Catherine's Peak spring water.

When she appeared before Resident Magistrate Glen Brown, Royal said she was promised US$800 to deliver the drugs and said she wanted the money to pay for her daughter's graduation and ball.
