MONTEGO BAY, St James — British resident Rachael Quayle, who is accused of attempting to export more than $45 million worth of cocaine from Jamaica, was again remanded when she appeared in the St James Parish Court on Wednesday.

Her continued detention is due to complications with the processing of her bail.

Quayle was granted bail in the sum of $800,000 on September 19 following an application by her attorney Precilla Jennings.

When the case was called up for mention before presiding judge Natiesha Fairclough-Hylton on Wednesday, the clerk of court indicated that bail had not been processed because Quayle’s passport was still being held by the Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency (PICA).

It was further disclosed that the forensic certificate was still outstanding. The clerk of court went on to explain that the certificate had already been prepared, but certain errors needed to be corrected.

Presiding Judge Natiesha Fairclough-Hylton ordered that the defendant be returned to custody until November 6, when the case will again be heard.

The 38-year-old is before the court on charges of possession, dealing in, attempting to export, and conspiracy to export cocaine. She was arrested and charged after 21 pounds of the illicit drug was allegedly discovered in assorted food items in her luggage at Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, St James.

Allegations are that on August 21, Quayle attempted to board a flight destined for the United Kingdom when her luggage was searched. During the search, cocaine, weighing 9.5 kilogrammes, was allegedly found concealed in an assortment of food items.

Quayle was taken into custody, and following further investigations, she was charged after being interviewed in the presence of her attorney.
