At the end of June, the gendarmes carry out a road check at the Hop Estate roundabout. They see a car coming, the passenger throwing something out the window. The soldiers saw him. They retrieve the bag that contains seventy cannabis heads. DM, a 29-year-old Jamaican national, was arrested.
Placed in police custody, he explains that narcotics are intended for his own consumption, which he "used to buy in bulk". He justifies being in the car because he was going to visit his aunt who lives in Grand Case, himself domiciled in part Dutch.
DM was summoned to the Saint-Martin local court on November 26 but did not appear. The deputy prosecutor requested a three-month suspended prison sentence and a fine of 1 euros. After deliberation, the court pronounced a sentence in accordance with the requisitions.
