A Bermudian mother-of-three described her relief to be free after ten weeks in a Canadian jail facing drugs charges that were eventually dropped.Sereana Brangman, 28, was arrested when cocaine was found in the bags of her travelling companion Odin Lowe on February 5.Although she denied having anything to do with the discovery made at Toronto Airport when they were on their way home from Jamaica, she was arrested and charged with importing drugs and conspiring to import them.The maximum penalty for the offences in Canada is life imprisonment.Ms Brangman, of Crown Lane, Warwick, was remanded into custody at the Vanier Centre for Women in Ontario until the charges were eventually dropped last Friday.“I was so happy to hear that the charges were dropped. I thought it would happen sooner,” she said. However, she is concerned the case has damaged her reputation in Bermuda.“I just want people to know my name has been cleared,” she said. “I got detained because I was with the person who had the drugs on him. Everything was found in his luggage. But as he was travelling with me I had to be detained. I was guilty until proven innocent, but the charges were dropped because I had nothing on me.”Ms Brangman said she only realised Lowe had drugs with him when she started being questioned by the authorities in Canada.“It was a big shock when they told me that. I have never been to jail, and of course I was scared,” she said.Of her time in custody, she said: “It’s not a place you want to be although I was expecting it to be way worse. I’m just glad I was in Canada where they take care of their people instead of a country where it would be rough.”It’s not the first upheaval Ms Brangman has suffered in her life in recent years. Her father, Maxwell Brangman, was murdered along with his friend Frederick Gilbert in St David’s in 2008. Teenager Darronte Dill was convicted in 2009 of killing the pair.Ms Brangman, who is a single mother, has now been reunited with her daughters Sabrina, eight, Sierra, ten, and son Namazio, two, who has the middle name Maxie, in honour of her late father.They were cared for by family members while she was away.While she is happy to be back with her children, she lost her job at the Down to Earth health store due to her absence from the Island, and is currently unemployed.“This has caused a big problem for me,” she said.Lowe, of Happy Valley Lane, Pembroke, pleaded guilty on April 8 to importation of cocaine and was sentenced to 27 months in jail, plus two months pre-trial custody.The Royal Gazette had previously reported that the cocaine weighed one kilogram, based on initial information supplied by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police [RCMP].However, a RCMP spokeswoman stated yesterday that the total amount was in fact 679 grams, which would be worth approximately $170,000 if sold on the streets of Bermuda.Ms Brangman declined to discuss the case against Lowe, saying: “I don’t want to say anything about him. I’m just happy to be home.”
