 Former striker for the
national football team, Onandi Lowe, is crying foul following his arrest by the
police on charges of possession of marijuana.Lowe was released on bail after being arrested in Spanish Town, St. Catherine on Sunday December 23. But he said he was unfairly targeted by the police as the marijuana was not found in his possession. He said he was arrested and charged despite the confession of another passenger that the ganja and other contraband belonged to him. Mr. Lowe was released on $20,000 thousand dollars bail and is scheduled to appear in court on January 8. The police say they stopped the vehicle that Mr. Lowe was travelling in along the Spanish Town bypass and conducted a search, during which 42 sticks of ganja were found. Four other persons, who were in the vehicle including a woman, were also arrested. Onandi Lowe was part of the Reggae Boyz team which qualified for the 1998 world cup. He was most recently a member of the Portmore United Football team. |
