Richard Rudolph Gayle, 38, was yesterday apprehended at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) at approximately 5:00 hours by the Police Narcotics Unit, under the suspicion that he had swallowed pellets containing cocaine.
The suspected cocaine swallower, Richard Rudolph Gayle, who was apprehended at the CJIA yesterday.Gayle is currently under police guard at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) after X-rays of his abdomen showed several foreign objects in his stomach.The Jamaican, who arrived in Guyana on February 26, was an outgoing passenger at the CJIA bound for Trinidad and Tobago when he was searched by the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU). Their initial search discovered no drugs on his person, but Gayle was later detained by the Police Narcotics Unit.
Gayle is said to be cooperating with the police, as he has taken the laxatives necessary to help him pass the pellets out of his system.A few weeks ago another Jamaican national, Errol Barrette, spent three days at the GPHC before finally excreting the pellets containing the illicit substance. He was lucky that none of the pellets containing the drug had ruptured in his stomach.Over the last few years, several drug mules have died when the pellets, containing the drugs they were trafficking, burst while still inside them.
