It’s reported that 2 old Rumar Bailey was on Wednesday ordered to pay EC$16,000 in connection with a drug bust at V.C Bird International Airport on August 11.
Police and customs officers conducted an operation at LIAT Cargo and found the ganja hidden inside cans.
A report in the Antigua Observer newspaper says Bailey pleaded guilty to importing ganja but denied the charges of possession and possession with intent to supply.
The prosecution accepted his plea.
Bailey, who has lived in Antigua since the age of nine, was given two years to pay the fine or spend two years at Her Majesty's Prison.
