A former national footballer has been sentenced to four years hard labour by a Sangre Grande magistrate, after he pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.

Leon Jackson, 44, of Feria Circular, Guyaguayare, appeared before Magistrate Cheryl-ann Blake on Monday, charged with possession of $60,000 in marijuana.

The court heard that around 3.15 p.m. on Saturday, Jackson was walking along Railway Road, Sangre Grande, when he was spotted by officers of the Eastern Division Task Force.

Upon seeing the officers, Jackson started acting suspiciously and was stopped by them.

A blue and grey knapsack he had on his person was searched and officers found 2.6 kilos of compressed high grade marijuana. Cpl Junior Bernard laid the charge.
