Maynard gets 9-year sentence for drug conspiracy
Former BVI Ports Authority Managing Director Oleanvine Pickering-Maynard was given a nine-year and four-month prison sentence for her role in a drug trafficking plot that involved convicted former Premier Andrew Fahie.
Besides the time in jail, Maynard, who is 62 years old, will also have to undergo five more years of supervised release.
The sentencing occurred in a Miami courtroom today, with United States District Judge Kathleen Williams overseeing the proceedings.
The former ports boss told a Miami court she helped the convicted former Premier orchestrate a Hollywood-style drug and money laundering conspiracy to smuggle thousands of kilos of cocaine through the territory’s waters and to hide the proceeds coming from their efforts.
Judge Williams selected a sentence that was lower than the recommended range of 11 years and three months to 14 years.
Maynard’s son, Kadeem Maynard, received a 57-month sentence in November 2023, but Fahie has not yet been sentenced and is scheduled for a court date on August 5, 2024.

Quter mill go and pay the million dollars for your uncle u know who dis is u send to shoot me for the drug u send me for. U guys have the police force on your side
Dem frig she after she turned rat
Nope, she didn’t get frig as you stated. If she had pleaded not guilty like hard headed Andrew she would have gotten more time in prison. She is not stupid. She choose to let a court appointed Attorney represent her which was a smart move. Everyone think a court appointed Attorney is the bottom of the barrel Attorneys. He hire an expensive Attorney thinking because she is expensive she would get him off. Home girl acknowledge her role and pled guilty shaving time off her sentence. Andrew is looking at 20-40 years behind bars.
9 years dayum
And she took plea deal
Andrew fahie is cooked!! Lol!
Andrew fahie had he chance to plea guilty knowing he was recorded and he still choose to fight!
He getting some serious time. Big bruce waiting!
Now that’s a real justice system
Our issa joke
I so glad it happened on USA soil
Cuz dpp wouldn’t even get a conviction and if they do our weak judges would give lowest sentence as usual
She got 14 years. Once the 9 year sentence is over, she still have to spend 4 more years being court supervision. She will be spending the 4 years in a half way house until her official release and be deported out of the United States. That is crazy, mother and son serving jail time in the US. Yeah, Andrew is looking at 40- to life.
She pleaded guilty and got 9 years, they are going to drop the hammer on Andrew for real.
Fahie will get life in prison
Perhaps Andrew may get life. She pleaded guilty and she got 9 years and 4 months. Andrew who was found guilty on all 4 charges and pleaded not guilty, is probably going to get 40 years. 10 years for each count that he was found guilty on. No use in keep hollering FREE THE DREW. His goose is cooked. He can also file an appeal however, appeals cost hundreds of thousand of dollars and can take up to 3 years for the appeal Court to hear the case.The appeals court can also deny the appeal.All in all, let that be a lesson to all of you that think you can go over to America and do dirt. America laws are different. They catch you and find you guilty, you will pay the price.
The United States Justice system don’t care who you are related to, don’t care about family name, they find you guilty, they are going to send you to jail.Hunter Biden was just found guilty and he is the President of the United States son. Here in Tortola the Justice System is weak and crumbling.
Like everything else on Tortola. Weak and crumbling….
Closer and closer Tick Tock
my people pray for me
place your bets folks, i am betting head couch will get at least 20 years
He should get at least 20 but may get less if he turns or has turned state’s evidence
@resident I’d say more than that. Maynard was way lower down the totem pole and pleased guilty and got 9years so Id say FA looking like 30 or so…
Yeah, he is going to get at least 20 years. It is a possibility he may get 20 years. He just have to deal with whatever sentence the judge hand down.I bet he is shedding a whole lot of tears thinking about and missing his homeland. He give up his freedom. In the end, was it really worth it? I almost feel sorry for him but I can’t. People have to understand when karma strikes, it strikes back TENFOLD.
I wonder if head coach in the top bunk or ‘bottom’ bunk?
He can get less than ten years if he give up n**on and ta***o that who the Fed want
He definitely bottom bunk with all the a** he got there
He too big to climb up that top bunk
Cheeks clapping as he move
What kind of batty man sodomite post is this? LAVA!
Fat boy is going to get plenty of behind slapping when he is in the bathroom at shower time. Heard they like the fat ones in the prison.Fat boy if you drop the soap don’t bend over to pick it up.
Now you damn well know with his age and his size, they are not going to give him a top bunk. It will be hard for him to get up and down off the top bunk.
