MAGISTRATE Faith McGusty on Wednesday October 23, 2019, remanded a 27-year-old man to prison on a drug trafficking charge.

Carlos Christopher of Soesdyke appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and denied the charge, when it was read to him.

Particulars of the charge stated that, on October 21, 2019, at Lombard Street, he had, in his possession, 198 grams of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking.
