A 50-year-old ranger was on Monday remanded to prison by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan for cocaine trafficking.

Colin Thompson, of Berbice, denied that on January 25 he had 18 grams of cocaine in his possession for the purpose of trafficking.

The unrepresented man had his bail objected to by police prosecutor, David Mansfield, based on the seriousness of the charge.
The Chief Magistrate remanded Thompson until February 15th when the matter will be recalled at the Bartica Magistrate’s Court.
