Before reading where the person charged with this drug was from, the first place that came to my mind was the good ole USA. Ecstacy is prevalent there.
It is known that people combine marijuana and ecstasy to get a certain kind of high…one that is very dangerous, and can lead to severe mental illness and even death.
How he hell was this drug able to get into the country?
I thought we had a white powder problem. I am surprised ecstacy is now in the mix.
Free advise: Stay away from these dangerous street drugs.
By the way, why on Gods earth is a 42 yo in a car allegedly with a 25 yo in the wee hours of he morning?
There is a popular thought out there that nothing is open past midnight except legs; however, it appears the “drug store” may have been open after midnight as well.
pills and ecstasy
weed and Hennessey; is all i wanna see
LOL 2 clowns with female names LMFAO!! Rondella & Shavon
Sk**t
You are really behind times my dear cause those drugs have been here a long time now.
Police on a roll, well done, but plenty more guns and drugs out there. Thank you keep up the good work
Messing with drug dealers and criminals is all these lil dumb dumbs like to do.
Glad they caught these two undisciplined lunatics cause if you stupid enough to be in such a conspicuous spot, smoking weed, with a car full of jail worthy items like that, then who’s to know what sort of idiotic plans for violence you would carry out moving like that.
G* Any relation to rouge labor department done. Ha The Big Problems in Labour

HOME GIRL BETTER PUT ON HER GRANNY PANTIES AND FACE WHAT IS COMING TO HER. WHY IS SOME OF THESE YOUNG WOMEN IN THE BVI SO DAMN STUPID. PUSHING DRUGS FOR A COUPLE OF DOLLARS FOR A DESIGNER BAG, WEAVES AND CLAWS ON THEIR FINGER TIPS.
Let’s see how this play out, cause A* got caught with guns and drugs in her man house sea cows bay and got promoted to work in the governor’s office. Some of these women just have bad luck pu**y. Smell bad too

There are more dumb dumbs to be caught. They all line in the same crew. They don’t want to earn an honest days pay so they hook up with these drug men for fast money a weave and some brand name gear.
The police ain’t playing with you all no more. I SAY MOST OF THESE YOUNG WOMEN IN THE BVI HAVE NO COMMON SENSE OR THEY ARE JUST PLAIN OUT IGNORANT AND DUMB. THE ONLY THING THEY KNOW HOW TO DO IS BREED LIKE HAMSTERS, DROP TO RATCHET, GRIMEY, HOOD RAT DAMAGED GOODS.
If it makes you feel any better, most of what gets sold as “Ecstasy” around here is just useless blue powder. It’s not the real thing.
The news left a very important piece of information. She was receiving a ride to go to her vehicle.
You all are so quick to judge.
And it was not in the wee hours, she got arrested before 10pm.
Sometimes ayo need to stop judge or talk down on people over newa articles.
