Norris 'Deedo' Nembhard,Robroy 'Spy' Williams, his brother Glenford Williams and Vivian Dalley who were held along with Nembhard for extradition

DEFENCE attorney for alleged drug kingpin Norris 'Deedo' Nembhard, Jacqueline Samuels-Brown, yesterday applied for leave in the Court of Appeal, to allow for an application to the United Kingdom-based Privy Council in a last ditch bid to stop Nembhard from being handed over to United States authorities.On Wednesday, Justice Minister Dorothy Lightbourne, attached her signature to extradition warrants allowing for Nembhard and three other alleged drug dealers, Robroy 'Spy' Williams, his brother Glenford Williams and Vivian Dalley who were held along with Nembhard in 2004, to be handed over to the US.But Samuels-Brown told the Observer yesterday that she would be using every legal channel to prevent her client from being extradited.
"We wrote back to her protesting her proposed action. We have now made an application for leave to apply to the Privy Council. We have also filed a constitutional motion in the Supreme Court," Samuels-Brown said.
Former police corporal Herbert 'Scarry' Henry, has waived his right to appeal and will be extradited.The five were among several persons arrested in 2004, after Drug Enforcement Agents (DEA) in the state of Florida served provisional warrants to local authorities claiming the men were part of a drug smuggling ring - which shipped over 5,000 kilograms of cocaine and a quantity of marijuana into the United States.The smugglers allegedly arranged for cocaine to be shipped from the Colombian coast and transferred to a yacht in Jamaican waters before being smuggled into the US.The alleged drug ring was smashed after DEA operatives arrested a nephew of Robroy Williams in a go-fast boat in international waters between the territorial waters of Colombia and Jamaica. The boat was allegedly stashed with cocaine and the man was taken to Guantanamo Bay and then to Florida.The man allegedly told the DEA agents that he was working for his uncle and gave them a complete outline of the drug-running operation after he was offered a plea bargain deal.
