Man Jailed for Cannabis Smuggling at Dublin Airport

Thirty-one-year-old American, Shawndell Gaston, sentenced to four years in Irish prison for smuggling €424,000 worth of cannabis into Dublin Airport. Gaston, a security guard from the Bronx, pleaded guilty to the charge after being caught with 48 packets of cannabis hidden in suitcases. His mother, also involved, faces sentencing next month. Gaston, dealing with financial problems and drug addiction, claimed ignorance of the suitcase contents and was described as the lowest level of blame due to his naivety.
