Mechanic, funeral home worker charged over ganja

David Lynch

A city court yesterday granted bail to a mechanic and a mortician, who were charged jointly with the illegal possession of half a pound of cannabis.

David Lynch and Oslyn Richards were read a joint charge which alleged that on December 5th at Albouystown, they had 245 grammes (equivalent to half a pound) of cannabis in their possession for trafficking.

Both Lynch, 41, and Richards, 39, were not required to plead to the charge after it was read to them by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
