A city magistrate yesterday granted $100,000 bail to a prison warden who was allegedly found with over 100 grammes of cannabis during a security search at the Camp Street Prison.
Bail was granted to Cleon Webster when he made his second court appearance before Magistrate Faith McGusty yesterday.
The charge against Webster alleges that on June 14, at the Camp Street Prison, Georgetown, he had 120 grammes of cannabis in his possession for the purpose of trafficking.
Aside from the payment of bail, Webster was also ordered to lodge his passport.
The matter was the adjourned until July 31.
Facts relating to the matter indicate that on the day in question, during the regular security search, the narcotic was found in the haversack belonging to the defendant. The security guard subsequently informed Webster about the narcotic, and he replied, “Is my sister own.”
