A Canadian man who was convicted for attempting to smuggle cocaine out of Jamaica was sentenced to nine months in prison when he appeared before the St. James Parish Court on Wednesday.
Clyde Francis, a truck driver of Pickering, Ontario, was also fined half a million dollars.
He will serve an additional six months if the fine is not paid.
Francis was arrested in August last year after the police found five pounds of cocaine his luggage at Sangster International Airport.
The cocaine was valued at CA$87,000.
