A PHARMACY assistant was released on $75,000 bail on Friday after he appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on a fraudulent conversion charge.

Twenty-five-year-old Jarod Humphrey appeared before Magistrate Peter Hugh to answer to the charge which states that between the months of September, 2015 and November 2017, at Hadfield Street Georgetown, while being solely entrusted by Shawn Dodnaught with $1.2 million to purchase a roof, he converted the money for his own use and benefit.

The man, who is currently pursuing his studies at the Nations University, denied the charge that was read out to him in court by the magistrate.
Police Prosecutor Simone Payne had no objection to bail but asked that a substantial bail be granted.

Bail was granted in the sum of $75,000 by the magistrate and the matter was adjourned to November 23, 2018.
