Drug agents from the Guyana Police Force are anxiously waiting to examine the bodily contents of a female American to confirm that she did ingest cocaine in an attempt to smuggle the drug to her home country.The 23-year old woman was nabbed at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Timehri on Tuesday while she was an outgoing passenger to New York.According to a senior police official, an x-ray showed a foreign substance which is suspected to be cocaine in the woman’s stomach.The American is at present a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital where she is being closely monitored.The official said that acting on information and the fact that the women fitted a particular profile, she was intercepted before she boarded the aircraft.The official told this newspaper that the woman disclosed that she had stayed at a Roxanne Burnham Gardens address after arriving in Guyana.Investigators are hopeful that the foreign object is excreted as soon as possible since if it is indeed cocaine and it ruptures in her body, it can cause significant health problems or even death for the woman.Several persons have been held at the main port of entry and exit after ingesting cocaine.However, some unlucky persons have died as a result of the cocaine packets rupturing in their stomachs.In one strange case, an American citizen jumped to his death while he was being monitored for ingesting the illegal drug at a city hospital.
