As a result, ranks were dispatched to the location and, on arrival, told Walcott of the information received and requested to search her home.
According to the Police, she did not object, and during the search, which was done in her presence, several transparent ziplock bags were seen that contained suspected cannabis.
She was told of the offence committed, and under caution, she replied: “I selling da weed to mind me three children.”
A further search was carried out in her bedroom, and in a basket and one transparent plastic bag containing several small, rocklike substances suspected to be cocaine was found.
She was told of this and replied with caution: “I selling da cocaine fo mind me children.”

On arrival at the Station, and in her presence, the suspected cannabis was weighed and amounted to 65 grams, while the cocaine totalled 9 grams.
