Two Jamaicans, alleged members of the notorious drug ring known on the streets as the Shower Posse, have been extradited to the United States to face multiple drug charges.

The extraditions, which occurred in mid-afternoon almost a week ago, was not publicised by local authorities.

Tonya Brown, 36, and David Stewart, 34, who US officials believed were members of the infamous drug ring, were extradited to the United States on May 22 to face charges of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and conspiracy to distribute cocaine and cocaine base, crack.

Narcotics breaches

The Constabulary Communication Network (CCN) confirmed the extradition.

"Both were wanted in the US for narcotics breaches," said Sergeant Janet Williams-Richards from the CCN.

While the police have heard the allegations, it could not confirm if Brown and Stewart were Shower Posse members.

"From March 2003 to May 2007, Brown and Stewart, her boyfriend and co-defendant, were a part of a Jamaican drug organisation in Utica, New York, which sold crack cocaine," said Williams-Richards.
