A 34-year-old man was on Monday nabbed at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court while attempting to smuggle contraband to a murder accused in the police outpost.

Leon Smart was arrested after he was busted by an alert police officer with alcohol (vodka) inside a drink bottle, along with two packs of cigarette in a package, intended for murder accused, Colvin Johnson known as ‘Gun-Butt’, who is on remand for the murder of Paul Rodney in 2016.

Smart when arrested, told the police officer that he was unaware that it was a crime to supply alcohol to a prisoner. The officer did not believe him since Smart had served time on remand and would’ve known the routine and rules.

Smart was taken to the Brickdam Police Station as the investigation into the matter continues.

An hour before the incident, a robbery under arms charge was dismissed against Smart by Magistrate Faith McGusty. He was charged for the armed robbery committed on a Brazilian and her driver at Bel Air Park, Georgetown last November. But the matter was dismissed against him on Monday after the alleged mastermind behind the robbery, Kelvin Emper, had confessed to the crime and was sentenced.
