NEW YORK, Aug 27, 2009 - A 49-year-old Grenadian man has been arrested and charged by Police in Washington, D.C. for the alleged possession of illegal drugs.
The Washington Post reported that Winston Williams was earlier this month indicted on charges of unlawfully possessing marijuana with the intent to distribute it.
According to the paper, Police seized more than 80 pounds of marijuana and nearly US$40,000 in cash in two separate raids at properties belonging to Williams.
Reports in Grenada said that Williams is the brother of Grenada’s Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations in New York, Dr. Dessima Williams.
In a brief statement on behalf of the family, Ambassador Williams said that the family is shocked and surprised about the allegations but concerned as family about the welfare of his wife and children and about his health.
“While we hope he is proven innocent we are also aware that this is a legal matter and as such there will be no further comment," the statement said.
So very well said Joe, nothing cant be farther away from the truth. You speak a book and a half there my brother. We all have to come together as one and stop all of this drug, guns and the messing up of people's mind.

Mr. Williams deserves the full penalty if he is found guilty. There is no excuse for this type of behaviour. Washington DC is suffering tremendously from crimes mainly alligned to marajuana, crack cocaine etc. etc. Those problems create very serious and negative impacts on our poor youths, parents, teachers and Community in general. In the event that he is found guilty, Mr. Williams should be fully punished for contributing to the severe drug problem in Washington DC that is also related to shootings, illegal handguns, theft, High School drop outs & poor graduation rates, plus much more. Sorry to say so.

If you brave enough to do the crime well u should be just as brave to serve your time. All of you talking about this and that and not making much sense. You cannot fare well on earth by messing up people's life and ecpect that all will be well with you. People should think before they act. I don't have to sell drugs and I do get by in life..right??
