A 42-year-old Merriman’s Mall vendor was on Monday, January 14, 2019, released on $100,000 bail by Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus, for trafficking marijuana.
Christopher Cummings of Tucville Housing Scheme appeared before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and pleaded not guilty to the charge which read that on January 11, 2019, he had 109 grams of marijuana in his possession for the purpose of trafficking.
Police Prosecutor Quinn Harris stated that, on the day in question, ranks, acting on a ‘tip-off’, went to Cummings’ Merriman’s Mall stall and ‘busted’ him with the marijuana in his hands. Cummings reportedly handed over, to the police, the marijuana which was parceled off in small zip-lock bags.
Cummings’ attorney, Bernard DaSliva, during an application for bail, told the court that his client was not found with the marijuana.
The magistrate granted Cummings $100,000 bail and adjourned the matter until January 28, 2019.
