DUNCANS, Trelawny - Three American nationals from Billings, Montana, were ordered deported yesterday, after they pleaded guilty in the Trelawny Resident Magistrate's Court at Duncans, to possession of small amounts of ganja.

They are, brothers Peter and Christopher Rouleau, and Sandra Hunter, said to be the girlfriend of Christopher. They were arrested at Duncans Bay in the parish on September 13 in a police raid during which the authorities said they found them with a few ounces of ganja.

In court yesterday, the three pleaded guilty to the charges, and Resident

Magistrate Frank Williams fined them $200 each or 10 days in jail and recommended that they be deported. In addition, Peter pleaded guilty to overstaying his time in Jamaica, and was fined $5,000 and Christopher pleaded guilty to possession of a chillum pipe, which is used to smoke the weed, and was fined $400 or 10 days.

Court sources told the Observer that Christopher Rouleau and Hunter are wanted in Billings, Montana, where they were to have reported to start serving sentences they were given on methampheta-mine charges. Christopher was sentenced to serve 10 years and Hunter was put on probation, on condition that she serves 300 days of a 10-year sentence. However, they did not turn themselves in to serve the sentences, and warrants were issued for their arrest.

The sources said that arrangements were being made by relatives of Hunter's seven-month-old baby daughter, and the American Embassy, to return the infant to the United States. After her mother was taken into custody the baby girl was kept at Blossom Gardens Place of Safety in St James.
