Georgetown: The Deputy Regional Executive Officer for Region Three, Ameena Hinds was busted in the US with over three pounds of cocaine stashed in her suitcase. The Regional official who had also acted as REO of region four traveled to Texas on a United Airlines flight from Trinidad and Tobago on October 29, 2016.
Reports reveal that on her arrival, she was pulled over by US Immigration and Customs agents and a search of one of the suitcases she was carrying revealed the illegal substance. The cocaine was stashed inside the lining of the suitcase. The 36-year-old woman allegedly told the agents that she had been given the piece of luggage by a man in Trinidad to take to Texas for delivery. She was reportedly offered US$2500 for the cocaine trafficking job and was expected to travel with the bag to New York from Texas and deliver it at a hotel.
She reportedly took the job so that she could be able to settle an outstanding debt. She now faces drug trafficking charges and faces jail time once found guilty.
