Man Pleads Guilty to Cocaine Possession

Man Pleads Guilty to Cocaine Possession

A 39-year-old man entered a guilty plea to cocaine possession and will be sentenced next month following his arrest over the weekend.

Teshawn Lynch of All Saints appeared before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel where he pleaded guilty to a possession charge. His sentencing has been scheduled for October 2nd.

The prosecution withdrew a second charge of possession with intent to transfer after Lynch entered a not guilty plea to that count.

Lynch was arrested over the weekend after police executed a search warrant at his residence and discovered 293.7 grams of crack cocaine. The search came after officers conducted a stop and search operation near Midway Gas Station last Friday, during which they found transparent bags containing cocaine concealed in Lynch’s underwear.

The initial discovery prompted officers to obtain a warrant for his home, where a subsequent search revealed a flask containing cocaine buried in his yard.

    At least he didn’t waste the court time and drag on the case when he knows he really has it. That alone gets him 30% off his sentence

    Pleading guilty might speed up justice, but we also need stronger preventive measures to stop people from getting involved with drugs in the first place.

    Smoking crack has been referred to as smoking the devils dick (pipe).
