Dominican national charged for growing over 40 cannabis plants
By Zaya Williams
Dominican national Cliff Darroux, who resides in Antigua, is facing charges of possession and cultivation of cannabis plants.
According to the laws of Antigua and Barbuda, a person should not have more than four weed plants in their possession at a time but Darroux was reportedly found with a total of 41 plants at his home.
The plants weighed 40 pounds and were valued at $80,000.
When Darroux appeared in court earlier this week, he was placed on a $100,000 bond and was told to pay $10,000 in cash to the state.
He also had to surrender his Dominican passport and report to a police station closest to him three days a week.
Once he secured and maintains his bail conditions, he is free until the conclusion of his case.
His next hearing is on May 29.
