ST CATHERINE, Jamaica – A 71-year-old farmer, known in his community as “Bigga Man”, has been slapped with multiple ganja charges following a police operation in Gregory Park on Saturday, August 23.
The accused, Austin McCalla of Bellas Gate, Old Harbour, has been charged with possession of ganja and dealing in ganja, after being nabbed by lawmen in the busy Queens Avenue area.
According to Portmore police, about 2:30 p.m., McCalla was spotted at a stall making a purchase with a black bag in hand. Upon noticing the police, he reportedly threw the bag to the ground in an attempt to ditch it.
Officers quickly moved in, accosted and searched the elderly farmer. The black bag was recovered and searched. Inside, cops reportedly found a large quantity of vegetable matter resembling ganja.
The substance was later weighed and found to be just over three pounds.
McCalla was arrested on the spot and subsequently charged. A court date is now being arranged.
The Gregory Park community has seen increased police presence in recent weeks as lawmen continue to crack down on illicit drugs and other criminal activities.
