A 44-year-old man, who police say had four grammes of cocaine in his possession, was yesterday sentenced to one year in jail after being found guilty of the crime.
Mark Herbert, a minibus conductor, was not present in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts 8&9 when he was sentenced by Magistrate Rondell Weaver.
The charge stated that on May 15th, at Georgetown, Herbert was in possession of four grammes of cocaine.
In addition to being sentenced to one year in jail, Herbert was also fined $50,000.
Herbert had denied the charge during his arraignment, claiming that he was given a parcel containing the illicit drug and told that it belonged to him.
