Alleged Jamaican gang leader George Ellis is facing deportation after admitting a drug possession charge.
When police announced Ellis’ arrest on July 1, they described him as a “known hit man” with ties to the No Dollars, No Cents gang.
Officers arrested the 30-year-old at the Victoria Inn on Midshipman Road.
Ellis, known by the street name Boom, was handed over to immigration officials after he paid a $400 fine for the drug case.
According to police sources, Ellis was not in the country to carry out a contract killing as they initially believed.
They believe he was headed to the US but got stuck in The Bahamas when the borders closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In November 2019, Jamaican prosecutors withdrew charges of gang recruitment against Ellis after the murder of their main witness.
