A CHARLESTOWN, Georgetown mason was yesterday taken before a Magistrate’s Court, charged with possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking. He is 36-year-old Devon Adams.

It was alleged that on March 14, Adams was found with 2.510kg of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.
Attorney Keoma Griffith asked the magistrate to grant reasonable bail, due to the fact that the drugs were found in Sophia where his client was doing some construction work on the fence and there were other occupants who lived at the place. He noted also that the investigation was incomplete.

Prosecutor Sanj Singh objected to bail. He stated that the police had enough evidence to convict and they had a written statement which was signed by the defendant. The prosecutor also disclosed that the defendant was also found in possession of a hand grenade.
Bail was refused by Magistrate Leron Daly and Adams was remanded to prison. The matter was adjourned to April 25.
