A TEAM of officers from the Royal Bahamas Police Force and the Royal Bahamas Defense Force found a marijuana field in Abaco on Saturday.
According to a police report, shortly after 9am, a team of officers acting on information, went to an area called Gilpin Point in Abaco where they discovered 75 marijuana plants ranging from eight inches to 4’5” in height.
Officers then searched a nearby residence, where they found a .38 revolver, a 12 gauge shotgun, two rifles, along with an assortment of shotgun shells and .38 rounds of ammunition. A small quantity of marijuana was also retrieved.
Police then arrested a 68-year-old man who lives at that residence.

Leave the guy alone. At least he is out hustling in the real world instead of sucking the teat of the treasury like all politicians and pastors do.

And while they are at it, legalize the damn marijuana and go after the real criminals, especially within the police and defense forces. What is the purpose of the defense force anyhow, to protect citizens against an attack by alien ganja plants? BTW, I understand these guys have been trying out their latest toys, the dreaded drones!

Well.... the RBDF is suppose to be the representation of our military. They are charged with the responsibility of protecting us from any foreign military aggression. Talk about comical.

No doubt a law abiding citizen who uses these weapons to shoot vermin. I hear in Abaco they come in the two and four legged varieties!

There are a gazillion illegal immigrants, running the length and breadth of Abaco, the legacy of one Edison Key and his friends and family and both the PLP and FNM governments, selling everything from themselves to liquor to dope to firearms to clothing to groceries to stolen goods without the benefit of a business license. Why? Because they are illegal and do not belong here but all government agencies turn a blind eye (they may be intimidated by the highly corrupt UN). This diaspora of illegals, particularly Haitian, is unprecedented in the Bahamas. There has been no "majority rule" government within the last fifty years with either the will or the balls to deal with the huge problem. So what do they do? They find some poor old dude, out in the middle of nowhere, miles from all of the aforementioned criminals, and decide to throw the book at him for a little harmless gardening and self-protection. These others are out in the open all over the place, squatting and thriving and procreating in abandoned Dorian-ravished buildings.Talk about incredibly strange, to put it mildly, and possibly even racially discriminatory. It sure is better in The Bahamas!
