“The 22-year-old tattoo artist of a London address in England, made a brief appearance before the St. James Parish Court on Tuesday, July 2 to face charges of possession of, dealing in and attempting to export ganja.

“Sentencing was postponed on Tuesday as the court is awaiting the defendant’s criminal records as well as her antecedents. She will remain behind bars until July 9.
