A couple escaped a drug trafficking charge only to get a lesser charge today in court before Magistrate Herbert Panton. 50 year old Alton White and his common-law wife 36 year old Idolly Fraser were accused of drug trafficking when the GSU found 119 grams of weed or 4 ounces of weed at his residence in the Conch Shell Bay area.

This happened on September 3rd 2013. They found 108 grams in his septic and 11 grams in his drawer. But White says that he was not going to sell the drugs and that this stash was for medicinal purposes. White is an amputee and has lost use of his leg and he claims the weed helps soothe the pain. Magistrate Herbert Panton took that into consideration and accepted a guilty for the lesser charge of drug possession. White's common law wife, Fraser did not have a case to answer to and was free to go. White presented a sworn testimony that she had no idea that the drugs were in the house.
