Another Lara Pleads
posted (May 9, 2017)
But that's not the end of the story for the Lara's of Arlington Drive tonight. Yesterday the news was about Telswin, but tonight it's about his brother Darwin Lara. He pleaded guilty to drug possession - which is usually a minor charge - but he got a major fine. The 35 year old was arrested for trafficking 114 grammes or four ounces back in May of 2015, but today in court he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of possession.

When Lara pleaded guilty this afternoon in Court #2 before Magistrate, Emmerita Anderson, he begged the court for leniency. Magistrate Anderson imposed a non-custodial sentence where she fined him $3,000 dollars. She ordered him to pay the fine by December 24, 2017 in default, 2 years imprisonment.
