A policeman was one of two men charged in a city court yesterday with possession of over 50 pounds of cannabis for trafficking.
Quincy Bacchus, 28, of 29 Perry Street, New Amsterdam, Berbice, was charged alongside Raman Singh, 37, of Lot 1 School Street, Rose Hall Town, Corentyne, with the crime.
Both men pleaded not guilty but while Bacchus, a Police Corporal stationed at the Central Police Station, Berbice, was granted his release on bail, Singh was remanded to prison, despite him telling Principal Magistrate Faith McGusty that the policeman told him to claim ownership of the drugs after they were busted.
