Gendarmesarrested a man in his sixties at his home in Baie-Mahault, Guadeloupe,
on Tuesday 9 April 2024.[1]The arrest came a day after officers on a street
check in the town stopped a young woman who had just left his home.[1]The
authorities described him as a man in his sixties known locally for offences
under drug legislation.[1]
A search of his home found 2.24 kilograms of packaged cannabis, three precision
scales and 1,010 euros in small notes.[1]The man was placed in garde à vue,
French police custody, where he admitted the facts.[1]He said the cannabis
served both his own consumption and resale, and that he had been selling
narcotics since 2007.[1]He was summoned to appear in court the following
June.[1]
The check that triggered the case found 8.5 grams of cannabis on the woman,
which officers seized.[1]She said spontaneously that she had just bought the
drugs while her mother waited in the street.[1]Both women said after being
taken to the gendarmerie brigade that they bought drugs at that address from
time to time.[1]

Open questions the AI reported
The article says only "cannabis" and does not state whether the seized material was dried herb or resin, so the product is recorded as other rather than flower.
The 8.5 grams was found on the buyer during the street check that triggered the case and is recorded separately from the 2.24 kilograms found in the home search.
The 1,010 euros was cash found alongside the cannabis, not a published value for the drugs.
No charge, plea or court outcome was reported beyond the June 2024 summons, so no sentence is recorded.
Only one accessible account of the operation was found; no separate gendarmerie statement for this event could be opened directly.
