A To­ba­go pen­sion­er was ar­rest­ed af­ter beg­ging of­fi­cers for a “bligh” when they found him with co­caine dur­ing a po­lice pa­trol.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, around 9:10 a.m. on Mon­day, of­fi­cers were on mo­bile pa­trol along the Claude Noel High­way near Dar­rel Spring Ex­ten­sion when they spot­ted the 63-year-old man walk­ing on the south­ern side of the road.

The of­fi­cers be­lieved he had just left a known drug block and stopped to search him.

Dur­ing the search, they al­leged­ly found a creamish, rock-like sub­stance in his pants pock­et re­sem­bling co­caine.

Be­fore he was cau­tioned, the man re­port­ed­ly plead­ed with of­fi­cers for a “bligh,” say­ing, “Oh gosh, ah now buy that by [name redact­ed] dey.”

He was ar­rest­ed and tak­en to the Scar­bor­ough Po­lice Sta­tion.

The co­caine weighed four grams. In­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing.
