## Resource

Roderick Spence, 56, from Montego Bay, is facing escalating legal trouble after being charged with multiple drug offenses tied to two major seizures—one from August at Kingston Freeport Terminal worth $71 million, and another from March at Sangster Airport involving 68 pounds of cocaine. Authorities say the investigation spans multiple incidents, linking him to a billion-dollar cocaine operation that led to eight arrests. New charges include possession, dealing, export attempts, and conspiracy. He’s set to appear in St. James Parish Court on September 30 as prosecutors aim to unravel this complex web of criminal activity.
