American DJ gets 10 years sentence for selling drugs
An American DJ, aged 30, took his career to a different level in the Kingdom by selling drugs to people who came to enjoy his music. The defendant was working at a star hotel here when caught selling marijuana to people attending parties. He was nabbed by police officers after receiving a tipoff. The man promised to sell marijuana for BD1,400 to an undercover officer, according to court details.
The court files say the cop in plain clothes tricked the DJ into selling drugs after managing to build a close relationship with him. “We had a great bond and I didn’t expect him to be working with police. He asked me for marijuana worth BD1,400 and I immediately agreed to deliver him,” the 30-year-old added.
Police officers raided the apartment after the undercover agent received drugs and handed over the money to the American man. The 30-year-old man was arrested along with another man who happened to be in the property under the influence of drugs. The DJ along and his friend were tried before the High Criminal Court. The former was sentenced to 10 years in prison for selling drugs, while his friend was handed down one year’s imprisonment for consuming hashish. The pair will be deported from Bahrain once they serve the punishment.
