I hate to say this, but Jamaicans are really giving Jamaica a very bad name both in Jamaica and outside of Jamaica.
Baltimore, Maryland – A federal jury today convicted Jean Brown, age 43, of Jamaica in connection with a conspiracy to distribute marijuana as one of the leaders of the Brown Organization, a criminal organization whose members distributed narcotics primarily in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Arizona and Jamaica. Co-defendant Gabriel Campa-Mayen, age 45, of Tijuana, Mexico, was acquitted of all charges.
Witnesses testified that on December 16, 2009, Brown, Smith and co-defendants Peter Blake, Hubert Downer and Dean Myrie kidnapped Michael Knight, one of Brown’s money couriers. According to trial testimony, Knight was holding $1 million for the organization, but when the money was collected $250,000 was missing. Myrie drove Brown and Knight, who was bound with a telephone cable, and other members of the organization to an apartment in White Marsh, Maryland, where Brown and others interrogated Knight. After Knight was not able to provide the location of the money, Brown ordered Downer and Blake to kill Knight. Knight was stabbed to death in the bathtub. Over the next few days Brown, Myrie, Downer and Blake dismembered Knight and disposed of his body in dumpsters in the Loch Raven and Liberty Road areas of Baltimore County.
