Jamaican Cops Arrested in U.S.,Suspected of Cocaine Possession

Four Jamaican police officers were last month arrested in the United States and charged with illegal drug possession.

According to a story published by the Jamaica Gleaner on June 26, the cops were nabbed during U.S. law enforcement operations in the cities of Atlanta, Georgia and Charlotte, North Carolina. The arrested officers were reportedly assigned to the western section of the Caribbean island.

The operations were reportedly conducted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

According to The Gleaner, three of the officers arrested were identified as constables Shermain Latoya Gooden, Dremar Graham and Trevonne Davidson. Another officer, who was not named, was reportedly returned to Jamaica and taken into custody.

The Gleaner story, which had not been confirmed by Caribbean Today up to press time, indicated that “The actions of three of the constables caused suspicion, and a subsequent search turned up contraband believed to be cocaine.”
