Three men appeared yesterday before Magistrate Faith McGusty at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court where they were charged with possession of a narcotic for the purpose of trafficking.
It was alleged that Yohan Sam, a 29-year-old electrician; Leron Lawson, a 30-year-old taxi driver, and Junior James, 26, all of La Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara, on June 17, at Princes Street and Cemetery Road, Georgetown, had in their possession 13,458 grammes of cannabis for purpose of trafficking.
All three pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor objected to bail, placing emphasis on the word “possession.” The magistrate was told a large amount was discovered and due to the nature and circumstance, it would be best for the trio to be remanded as investigations are still ongoing.
