A fisherman was granted $50,000 bail yesterday at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court after it was alleged that he had been caught smoking marijuana.
Prosecutor Michael Grant told the court that Terry Anrood was caught smoking marijuana at the North West District on November 3. Anrood, who resides at 505 Walton Hall, Essequibo Coast, pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to him by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.
Anrood, who was unrepresented told the Chief Magistrate he has “children to mind” and begged her to grant him bail.
There was no objection to bail by the prosecutor and it was set in the sum of $50,000.
The matter is to be called again at the Mabaruma Court on November 17.
