Singapore warrant out for Aussie drugs suspect

Singapore authorities have issued an arrest warrant for an Australian man charged with drug trafficking after he skipped bail.

 

The Central Narcotics Bureau says a warrant has been issued for 38-year-old Michael Karras.

 

The Straits Times reports Karras did not appear for a court appearance on May 9.

 

His lawyer, SS Dhillon, could not be immediately reached for comment.

 

According to a court document, Karras is charged with trafficking 437 grams of cannabis and cannabis mixture, a charge that carries at least five years' imprisonment and a minimum five strokes of the cane on conviction.

 

A death penalty sentence is mandatory for anyone caught trafficking more than 500 grams of cannabis.

Facing a minimum 5 years and 5 stokes of the cane, he skips bail. Everyone act shocked.

 

Gotta be a moron to be trading in any kind of anything in .sg, including free speech. What a hole.

I wonder if they cane your bottom? That would be kindof embaressing in a crowded courtroom!

I've always wondered if that was you in your avatar Al

67S, I stole that avatar art from an anti-pot website. Shockingly, it DOES look a bit like me. Can't think of a better use for anti-pot material, can you?

 

Mind you, given I'm blowing cones from dawn to midnight most days, I would somehow not be surprised to find a pic of me in any encyclopaedic entry about smoking dope.
