Two men were remanded to prison yesterday after police told Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan that they admitted to being the owners of narcotics found during a bust.
Jason Carmichael, 36, of 138 Lamaha Park, Georgetown, and Cordel David, 29, of 1176 G Housing Scheme, East Bank Berbice appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court One, where they were read a joint charge.
It was alleged that on June 26th, at 138 Lamaha Park, they were in possession of 245 grammes of cannabis for trafficking.
While Carmichael and David denied the charge, Police Prosecutor Gordon Mansfield said David and Carmichael allegedly admitted to being the owners of the cannabis.
The court heard that the two men as well as a woman and a child were present when lawmen went to the Lamaha Park address and conducted a search. The cannabis was found in a plastic bag on the kitchen table. Carmichael and David were subsequently arrested. Mansfield said the men also gave written statements.
The magistrate remanded both men to prison and adjourned the matter until July 26th.
