Premier's brother in drugs arrest
the weekend on drug-related matters.
But details surrounding the arrest of Mr. Gordon, 45, of Pembroke, were sketchy last night.
Premier Gordon told The Royal Gazette she only learned about the bust late last night: "All I can say is if he wants to do that stuff he has to pay the consequences like everybody else.'' The news comes in the wake of the Premier's comments on the "crackdown'' on drug dealing last night and in today's newspaper advertisement.
"I know what it is like to see someone in my own family suffer from addiction,'' she said in a television interview last night. "It is a horrible, horrible thing. But I will not throw up my hands in despair or frustration. I will not be beaten by someone else's disease.''

The liquor store owner's wife, Mary Fox, told Police that two men entered the store before 1.30 p.m. and waited until all the other customers had gone before one of them approached the counter area.
