He entered a not guilty plea to the charge of possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
He denied that on February 23 at East La Penitence he had eight grammes of cocaine in his possession for the purpose of trafficking.
He was represented by attorney-at-law Sasha Roberts who applied for bail on the grounds that he had a medical condition that may deteriorate if incarcerated without receiving his medication.
However, the magistrate informed her that that was not a special reason for bail to be granted to her client in a matter of this nature.
Prosecutor Joel Ricknauth then requested that Wellington be remanded to prison and a date be set for the commencement of his trial.
Wellington is scheduled to make another court appearance on March 16.
