posted (December 7, 2012)
Tonight, a group of 11 including family and friends are facing drug trafficking charges after they were busted in a home with weed last night.

Police conducted a search at around 7:30 at #57 Iguana Street Extension, which had 3 houses on the property.

Present at the time were 20 year-old Aaron Gordon, 22 year-old Kendall Sanchez, 20 year-old Lindon Hinds, 36 year-old Luis Matthews, 19 year-old Andrea Buller, a 16 year-old male minor, 29 year-old Juanita Hinds, 28 year-old Claudia Hinds, 18 year-old Kevin Buller, 56 year-old Gloria Buller, and a 15 year-old male minor.

Police found 2 black plastic bags underneath one of the houses, which contained 179 grams of weed. As a result, they were all charged jointly with drug trafficking, and they were arraigned today before Magistrate Adolph Lucas. Lindon Hinds pleaded guilty to the charge, and due to the fact that this was his first conviction, he was sentenced to pay a fine of $10,000 by July 31, 2012, or he will spend 3 years in prison if he defaults.

The other 8 adults were granted bail of $5,000 and the 2 minors were granted bail of $3,000.

They must all return on December 27, where it will be determined whether or not the DPP's Office will give a directive to withdraw the charge against them.

Lindon Hinds was acquitted of a prohibited firearm charge in Magistrate's Court on October 23, 2012.
