Fugitive cocaine courier sentenced

Patrina Dalrymple

Patrina Dalrymple, the Guyana-born American woman now on the run after being charged over an attempt to smuggle nearly a kilo of cocaine onboard a flight out of the country, was yesterday sentenced to 60 months in prison in her absence.

Dalrymple’s trial went on although she fled the country after her American passport was released by the court.
