EIGHTEEN-YEAR-OLD Jairam Singh who allegedly had in his possession four grams of cannabis sativa denied the charge before Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh at the Albion Court.
He was granted $20,000 bail after informing the court that six policemen barged into his home, but not before hitting his mother in an attempt to get to him.
However, he was advised to make a complainant to the Police Complaints Authority.
Meanwhile Police Sergeant Phillip Sherrif, prosecuting, said Singh, known as ‘Johnny’, was seen acting in a suspicious manner at a pig farm at Miss Phobe, Port Mourant, Corentyne.
As a result police arrested him and following a search on his person a Ziploc transparent plastic bag wrapped in aluminum foil was removed from his left side pants pocket.
The case has been transferred to Whim Magistrate’s Court for hearing on April 7.
