EIGHTEEN-YEAR-OLD Jairam Singh, who is charged with being in possession of four grammes of cannabis sativa (marijuana), denied the charge before Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh, at Albion Court, Corentyne, Berbice, on Wednesday.

He was granted $20,000 bail after claiming that six policemen barged into his home but not before assaulting his mother to get to him.
However, he was advised to make a complaint to the Police Complaints Authority.
Meanwhile, Police Sergeant Phillip Sherrif, prosecuting, said the defendant, also known as ‘Johnny’, was seen acting in a suspicious manner in a pig farm at Miss Phoebe, Port Mourant, Corentyne.
As a result, police arrested him and, following a search of his person, a ziplock transparent plastic bag, wrapped in an aluminum foil was removed from his left side pants pocket.
The case has been transferred to Whim Court, at Corentyne, too, for April 7.
