Drug smuggler needed to have surgery


By Elizabeth Roberts

A drug smuggler who swallowed 150 pellets of cannabis resin had to have surgery to remove some of them after developing complications. Derrick Hart, of WB’s Way, Hamilton Parish, bought the drugs in Amsterdam and ingested them with a drink of water and honey. Taxi driver Hart, 54, pleaded guilty to importing more than $15,000 worth of cannabis resin on March 4. He was jailed for three years by Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner.
Prosecutor Carrington Mahoney told the court narcotics officers searched a residence at WB’s Way on February 19 last year as a result of inquiries, and found a bag with 18 pellets of cannabis plus further pellets in a toilet bowl. Sixteen had to be removed by doctors after an X-ray and the majority had passed naturally.
During a March 5 interview with Police, Hart said he went to Amsterdam via London, and bought a couple of ounces of hash from a coffee shop, and rolled it into about 150 pellets, swallowed them. He also admitted that the drugs were to be sold wholesale, that he had handed some to his room-mate and that he was responsible for finding the drugs found in the toilet.
Police analysis revealed they had seized a total of 158 grams of cannabis from the toilet and excreted by Hart, which had a street value of $15,850.
He was charged with both importation of cannabis and possession of it with intent to supply. Defence lawyer Rick Woolridge Jr. said his client had a drug addiction, and asked Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner for a pre-sentence report from the Bermuda Assessment and Referral Centre and a Social Inquiry Report. Mr. Warner declined.
Mr. Warner said that, after taking into account factors including news that Hart is doing well on a treatment programme, he should serve three years followed by two years of probation, when he must seek further drug counselling.

You'd think, considering the method of transport, there'd be a discount on that rate, huh?

I guess it's just tight in the biz for some folks

I THINK HE PROBABLY TURNED IT INTO SOME DIRTY ENGLISH SOAPBAR HASH.

soz bout caps.

he would probably get 10 times that amount of hash after adding loads of things to bulk it up. e.g oil, coffey grounds, mud, plastic bags, rat poisen and whatever they can find. it gets cooked up and sold for 10 pounds an 8th of this rock solid crappy hash. i refuse to smoke it at all times.

its a shame people do this in england seeing as the laws are quite chilled when it comes to the personal smoker.

Mmmmm sounds like 'wild hash' we used to find in the woods.

I hope the cops that busted him had to dig through the toilet and figure out which "pellets" were which.
