Tyreca Noble, the US citizen charged with trafficking almost two kilogrammes (kg) of cocaine last July, is wanted by police after being pronounced guilty of the offence on Thursday.
Tyreca Noble
Noble, 22, of 3832 Zoey Lee Drive, Smallville, Georgia appeared before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton on July 25, 2008 charged with possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.
Police on Thursday issued a wanted bulletin for the woman and indicated that an arrest warrant was issued for her after the completion of a trial found her guilty of the said charge.
Noble, a fashion student, was arrested at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Timehri with 1 kg 818 grammes of cocaine in her possession on July 23, 2008. She had been vacationing in Guyana and, at the time, was represented by attorney-at-law Ronald Burch-Smith.
The cocaine, reports had said, was found in the false walls of two suitcases belonging to Noble who was an outgoing passenger on a flight bound for Miami via Barbados.
The matter had been transferred to the Providence Magistrate’s Court where the trial was subsequently conducted and Noble granted bail. She failed to attend court after bail was posted.
Police said the trial proceeded in Noble’s absence. She was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment along with a fine of $30,000 on Thursday.
“Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of [Tyreca] Alberta Noble is asked to contact the police on telephone numbers 225-6411, 226-2870, 225-1111, 225-2700, 911 or the nearest police station,” the police release said. All information, they further said, will be treated with strict confidence.
I do not understand why the magistrte will give a foreigner bail on an inditable offence.Something does,nt look good here the same with the fuel fiasco.Justice is a travesty in Guyana.What a joke rhis woman may be having when she will be reading this article via the net from her comfortable home in Georgia.THE POLICE should send the warrant to INTERPOL.
Interpol send NUFF arrest warrant for drug lords
and queens who walking the streets of Guyana and
no one tuching them Paul.
Paul ! I think the woman did the right move. How can the authorities expect a foreigner to financially maintain herself for a year in that sorry country ?
man she done home with her foot up
This is beyond laughable
put this photo on u tube ‘a convicted drug smuggler’
HOW ABOUT A CHARGE AND TRIAL OF ROGER KHAN AND HIS ASSOCIATES.
SURELY NO ONE WITH HALF A BRAIN EXPECTS HER TO EVER BE FOUND. DOES THE GUYANA GOVERNMENT REALLY THINK SHE IS GONG TO “TURN HERSELF IN”? THIS JUSTICE SYSTEM — WHAT A JOKE!! SHE KNOWS THAT SHE DID SOMETHING WRONG, AND SHE KNOWS THE PENALTY IS PRISON, BY NOW I BET SHE NO LONGER RESIDES IN GEORGIA. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE IT BAD FOR THOSE OF US WHO ABIDE BY THE LAWS AND TRY TO LIVE WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE LAW.
Incidentally, the address is fake. There is no Smallville in Georgia. I think there is one on TV but you know the deal. Stabroeknews, please check on these US addresses before publishing. That is one thing you can have a very decently accurate report on.
Addy
Smallville is near Macon, Georgia in Bibb County.
How can a visit , who is a flight risk , obtain bail after being charged for possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking ? Guyana is truthfully a comfort zone for dealers in illegal drugs .
Iwish the big drug kingpins could get such a speedy trial also and get them locked away from society and the kids to make it safe.
The big drug kingpins are the untouchables in
Guyana, thanks to the big weeels my friend NAVYSEAL.
Oh come on, there are no drug kingpins in Guyana only “businessmen”.
lol they police realy think this women is still in guyana they are even more stupid than i think. they should ask why this women was bail in the first place if that was a guyanese person they would not have get bail
The opposition in Guyana including people who run Capital news love to claim no Drug traffickers are ever caught . This proves them wrong.
Ha ha Saq,whatever you mean….yo shore right,ha ha,you got to be kidding me!!
What prove them wrong ?. The people at capital news,
the opposition and ME/I, we are talking about the big
ones, the cocain kings and queens or durg lords
that is making millions and professing to be big
businessmen/women in the country, only the small
dealers facing the courts for dealing drugs in Guyana,
they are the 25 cents dealers Saq.
Lol, since 2008, this woman probably bounced long time ago and is back in the u.s, she may have left through the back track and gone to suriname and book her flight back to the u.s, ask the u.s govt to extradite back to guyana to face charges.
AMEN-RA YOU ARE JOKING RIGHT?
SHE GOT BAIL LOOK WHO HER LAWYER WAS.
Bishnu i’m joking about the extradition, but the other comments are not.
what a joke this Guyana judical system is!may she escape and enjoy the freedom given upon her by the responsible ppl in office.So there is still hope of freedom if you are caught trafficking in coke..ha.
ha ha.She is gone…boo hoo
