A Camp Street prison warden is now himself a prisoner after police say he was found with cannabis when he was intercepted at a roadblock.

The court of Magistrate Zamilla Ally-Seepaul, at the Better Hope Community Centre, yesterday heard that on July 1, at Sparendaam, East Coast Demerara, Keith Azore, 25, of 45 Simon Street, Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara, had in his possession 250 grammes of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking.

Azore, who appeared unrepresented, pleaded not guilty.
