Christopher Cummings, the food vendor charged in January for allegedly trafficking more than 100 grammes of cannabis, yesterday led his defence in the matter with his counsel later arguing that the police did not have a case as he made no-case submissions.
Cummings, of 59 Tucville Housing Scheme, appeared at the George-town Magistrates’ Court before Magistrate Dylon Bess. It is alleged that on January 11th, 2019 at Merriman’s Mall, George-town, he had 109 grammes of cannabis in his possession for trafficking.
Leading his defence in the matter yesterday, Cummings told the court that on the said day, police officers, some of whom were dressed in plain clothes and some who were uniformed, approach-ed his business and asked to conduct a search on him. He said that after they found nothing on him, they further asked to search his place of business. The food vendor said he gave them permission and some officers entered the stall while others remained outside.
