Shamar Morris, the carpenter who was charged in July with recruiting a pregnant woman to traffic a quantity of cocaine last month, was yesterday granted bail.
It was alleged that Morris, of Lot 60 D’Urban Street, Lodge, between the period of March 1 and July 3, at Georgetown, procured Patrima Isaacs to traffic the narcotics.
On July 6, Isaacs was sentenced to three years in jail for trafficking 698 grammes of cocaine in the handle of her handbag and in a sanitary napkin in her underwear.
At yesterday’s hearing in Georgetown, Morris’ attorney, Adrian Thompson, renewed a bail application to Magistrate Leron Daly.
The defendant was subsequently granted $400,000 bail by the magistrate and was ordered to lodge his passport at the Criminal Investigations Department (CID).
The matter will be called again on August 30.
