St. Maarten – The Common Court of Justice sentenced Pershin Orell Sherwin Doram yesterday to 6 years of imprisonment for firearm and cocaine possession, money laundering and membership of a criminal organization.

The court wrote in its ruling that Doram has a criminal record; his most recent sentence was for 10 years in prison. A second suspect in this case, Richard Mitchell Rene, who was also at the location on September 17, 2013 when Doram was arrested, was sentenced to 18 months, with 15 months suspended for firearm and drug possession, money laundering and membership of a criminal organization.
