A welder was granted bail yesterday after he denied a charge of possession of cannabis for trafficking.
The charge alleged that Kishawn Breedy, 23, of Lot 12 Roxanne Burnham Gardens, on October 6th, at Norton Street, had in his possession 86 grammes of cannabis for trafficking.
Breedy denied the charge, which was read to him by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in Georgetown.
According to Police Prosecutor Gordon Mansfield, on the day in question the accused was observed throwing a plastic container containing leaves seeds and stems. Police later found the container a short distance away from him and he was then arrested. Mansfield claimed that he later gave the police an oral statement.
But attorney Patrice Henry, who represented the accused, made an application for bail on behalf of his client and he charged that Breedy, who was arrested since Sunday, was being pressured to accept ownership of the drugs.
Prosecutor Mansfield made no objection to bail being granted but requested that conditions be applied.
Breedy was subsequently granted his release on $100,000 bail and was ordered to report every Friday at 8 am to the Alberttown Police Station until the completion of the trial.
The case was then adjourned until October 29th.
