Orin Battersfield

A father and son were yesterday remanded to prison on a charge of drug trafficking after police said they found just over 10 pounds of ganja at their home.

It is alleged that on November 19th, 2018, at North Ruimveldt Squatting Area, Orin Battersfield, 53, and Quincy Charles, 38, had in their possession 4.55 kilogrammes (equivalent to just over 10 pounds) of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking.

Both men pleaded not guilty to the charge, which was read against them in the Georgetown court of Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
