Five people faced drug importation charges in the Supreme Court arraignment session on Thursday.

Steven Answorth Petgrave, 24, a restaurant worker from New York, will be sentenced on July 12 after he admitted importing $184,000 of crack cocaine weighing 590 grams on April 6.

Petgrave, who was represented by lawyer Marc Telemaque, was arrested with Jamaican disc-jockey Audley Lawe at the airport after arriving on a flight from New York.

Lawe, 22, from Kingston, pleaded not guilty to importation of 79.9 grams of heroin and denied the drugs were intended for supply.

The heroin is believed to have a street value of $388,000. He was represented by lawyer Juan Wolffe.

The men did not appear before Chief Justice Austin Ward at the same time, unlike an earlier appearance before a magistrate.

Two Toronto women will be sentenced next Wednesday for importing cocaine in their luggage on April 23 at the airport after a flight from New York.

US-born Toni Valicia Darlene Downing, 33, and UK-born Donnette Anne Marie Reid, 34, each pleaded guilty to importing the coke.

The cocaine is believed to have a street value of around $500,000. The women were represented by Mark Pettingill.

Floyd McCoy Hayward, 45, of Friswell's Hill, Pembroke, will return to the Supreme Court for mention on September 1.

Hayward faces charges that he imported heroin and possessed heroin with intent to supply on April 9. He was again freed on $5,000 bail with a like surety.
