Man gets 12 months in jail for ecstasy possession

Devon Grant was sentenced to twelve months in jail and fined $30,000 after he pleaded guilty to the possession of 164 grammes of ecstasy for the purpose of trafficking. Grant along with his co-accused, Lily Wills, made their appearance before Magistrate Gibbs at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court last Tuesday.

The Customs Anti Narcotic Unit (CANU) in a statement said Wills pleaded not guilty and was granted $100,000 bail.

Grant and Wills were intercepted in a motor vehicle on December 3, 2025, in the vicinity of Turkeyen, East Coast Demerara. A subsequent search of the vehicle revealed ziploc bags containing a quantity of ecstasy.
