A MOTHER of 10 was on Wednesday remanded to prison on two charges of drug trafficking when she appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.

Judith Alexander, 53, denied the charges which alleged that on October 15, 2018, at Lot 109, D’Andrade Street, Newtown, Kitty, she had in her possession 410 grams of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking

It was further alleged that on the same date at the same location, Alexander had in her possession 24 ecstasy pills, amounting to three grams, for the purpose of trafficking.

The vendor, who resides at the same address, is being represented by Attorney Adrian Thompson, who made a bail application. Police Prosecutor Thornhill objected to bail, due to the seriousness of the offence. According to the police facts, on the day in question, ranks from the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) acting on information, conducted and searched the bottom flat of the defendant two-storey house, where they found a pink suitcase and a black bag containing several zip lock bags containing stems and leaves suspected to be marijuana. The search continued and the police found, in a cupboard, a white bottle containing coloured tablets which was suspected to be ecstasy. As such the defendant was arrested.

Bail was refused by Magistrate Judy Latchman and the defendant was remanded to prison until November 7, 2018.
