The drug case against former airport worker Indra Waite was dismissed in the St. James Parish Court on Tuesday (March 19), with the judge citing inconsistencies in the evidence against the accused.

Waite has been charged with possession of criminal property and aiding and abetting and was initially linked to a conspiracy to smuggle 11 kilograms of cocaine on a Canada-bound flight in 2021.

According to the allegations, in October 2021, a bag containing the drugs at the Sangster International Airport was placed on board a Sunwing flight bound for Canada.

It was intercepted in Canada at the Toronto Pearson International Airport and one person was arrested there in connection to the seizure.

Waite, an airport supervisor at the time of her arrest, was charged in connection with the cocaine seizure, along with three other defendants Brelanie Reid, Tavon Murray, and Romaine Kerr.

When her trial began on November 16, 2022, Waite was the only defendant left in the case, the others having already been discharged.

There were five prosecution witnesses in the case against Waite and presiding judge Sasha-Marie Ashley said that the testimony across the witnesses was incoherent. There was a witness who testified to receiving a sum of J$90,000 from Waite, who was reportedly in a room in a house in Salt Spring, but no clear indication as to the money’s connection to the incident.

There was also no full record of any of the interviews conducted with Waite.

In accepting the no-case submission by defence attorney Henry McCurdy, Judge Ashley said that “there are dots with no connecting lines. I have no idea what this case is actually about.”

In light of the lack of cohesive evidence, Ashley accepted the no-case submission on behalf of Waite.
