A labourer was yesterday remanded to prison after he was charged with the illegal possession of 22 pounds of cannabis, which police say he admitted was his.
Seon Bartholomew stood in the courtroom of acting Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus, who read the charge to him in Georgetown.
It is alleged that Bartholomew, 45, on January 9th, 2019, at Lyng Street, had 10,387 grammes (equivalent to 22.8 pounds) of cannabis for trafficking in his possession. Bartholomew, of Lot 35 Lyng Street, Georgetown, denied the charge.
Police prosecutor Adduni Inniss later objected to the accused being granted bail based on the nature, gravity and seriousness of the crime.
