ST. THOMAS — 40-year-old Derrick Lewis of Hospital Ground was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, after he was caught with over 300 grams of marijuana, VIPD Public Information Officer Kevin Jackson has announced.<\/p>\n

According to the press release, issued on Friday, on Wednesday at about 4:00 p.m., Lewis\u00a0was observed loitering in the area of Prindsens Gade (Goat Street), standing in front of a building, displaying what appeared to be large amounts of a green, leafy substance in plastic bags atop a cardboard box and in bowls.<\/p>\n

Lewis was stopped and questioned by officers who conducted a search, and discovered a clear plastic bag containing the leafy, green substance; another clear bag containing a leafy, brown substance; a pack of bamboo paper along with a lighter; and large amounts of cash in the pocket of his pants.<\/p>\n

A further search of Lewis\u2019 backpack revealed a large and unknown quantity of the green substance that later tested as marijuana, along with a scale, scissors and an undetermined amount of plastic bags. It was later determined that Lewis had in his possession a total of 379.2 grams (0.825lbs.) of marijuana.<\/p>\n

Unable to make bail of $10,000, Lewis was remanded to the Bureau of Corrections pending his advise-of-rights hearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
