A 20-year-old man was allegedly arrested and charged earlier this week after police discovered that he was carrying more than 100 pounds of weed.

It’s understood that police officers on patrol observed the young man riding a motorcycle. Shortly after passing the area where the cops were stationed, the young man lost control of the bike and reportedly fell on the road.

The cops reportedly rushed to assist him and that’s when they noticed the smell of marijuana. Further checks revealed that the young man had the marijuana stashed away in the seat of the motorcycle.

The exact quantity of drugs remains unknown, but highly placed sources say it weighed over 100 pounds. The young man was later charged with marijuana. His vehicle was also seized by the police.

In the meantime, the young man — who reportedly resides in Carrot Bay — was offered bail and is reportedly set to appear in court in the coming weeks.

    No…. Weed. A motorcycle or scooter being ridden badly. What are the odds its a drug dealer.
    Time to stop all scooters and search them. stop all cars with over tint and search the insides for criminals, guns and drugs and corrupt politicians.
    While you are at it have a look inside the HOA and Customs and Immigration and probably worth another look inside the Ports Authority now the lead crook there, Oleanvine is out of jail and on the loose. Her boy no doubt back up to no good before long.
    In the meantime VIslanders won’t talk to Police and we still don’t have a killer for an 11 year old girl.

    Over to you all to tell us how weed isn’t really illegal ……

    Any way send this dude where he came from.

    What does all that have to do with a plant???
    Police separated themselves over decades from the Caribbean community for a factually medical plant of religious significance.

    I am not understanding how 100 lbs of leaves could fit on a bike or evrn on one bag. Could there br a gun or two also in the bag

    You can’t make this sh*t up. He actually arrested himself. Good boy. Love it.Imagine his heart rate skyrocketed, when he fell and then realised the cops were coming over to help. He was probably trying to hurry from the scene but was probably pinned under the bike…i can’t even finish my sentence because i am laughing so hard at the scenario. Hopefully, he hadn’t justvpurchase all that weed and was on his way to turn his profit. Y’all know this shit is funny, mehson. Glad, he isn’t seriously hurt though but he has a tale to tell his friends in the future.

    These little so call punks gansters all he did was saw the police panic. If you ain’t built for it go apply for the rated program and cut bush.

    The real travesty here is another young man about to lose his freedom and have criminal record over a plant. Full the prison with the gun man dem instead.
