A MINER of South Ruimveldt Squatting Area, Georgetown, who was “busted” with over 1,000 grammes of marijuana was on Wednesday refused bail by Magistrate Ann McLennan.

Dillon Barrows, 40, denied that on May 4 at Pomeroon Junction, Essequibo, he had in his possession 179 grammes of cannabis-sativa (marijuana) for the purpose of trafficking.
Bail was subsequently denied and he was remanded to prison, until July 13. The matter was transferred to the Bartica Magistrates Court.
