Sentencing for cocaine mule delayed
Daron Walters, who had his vehicle searched by officers of the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) on March 16, 2017, was taken into custody after they unearthed a large quantity of cocaine - 14 blocks of cocaine valuing over $1.5 million.
He appeared in the Magistrate's Court on December 12, 2017 at which time he was scheduled for sentencing; however, that was not the case as his attorney requested additional time to address certain matters with him.
Magistrate Ayanna O. Baptiste-DaBreo honoured the request and has set January 15, 2018 as the new sentencing date.
