Kevin Bevney, a taxi driver, was yesterday charged with the possession and trafficking of narcotics, after allegedly being held with cannabis during a police search.
Bevney, 31, appeared in the Springlands Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Krishndat Persaud, who remanded him to prison.

Bail was refused for Bevney after he failed to provide any special reason for it to be granted. He is to return to court on June 29, 2012.
