A South Ruimveldt, Georgetown, shopkeeper was on Friday remanded to prison by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in Court Two of the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, after he appeared before her slapped with several narcotics trafficking charges.
Forty-year-old Warren Stouffle of 3 Aubrey Barker Road, South Ruimveldt, denied the allegation which read that between September 4 and November 4, at Georgetown, he trafficked narcotics; that is to say, he conspired with Shanda Nicasie Nickels to traffic 4.160 kilograms of cocaine. He also pleaded not guilty to the charge which read that on November 4 at Aubrey Barker Road, he had in his possession six grams of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.
Police Prosecutor, Corporal Deniro Jones revealed to the court that these charges coincide with those of Nickels. It was related that Nickels was charged for drug trafficking and was sentenced to three years imprisonment at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court on a related charge. The Prosecutor explained that Nickels gave a statement to the Police incriminating the defendant which indicated her willingness to testify against him. Based on information garnered from Nickels’ statements, the ranks went to the defendant’s home at Lot 3048 Aubrey Barker Road and not Lot 3 as was presented to the court by the defendant. He further related that on November 4, the ranks approached the defendant at the gate of his residence and carried a search on his person, during which the illegal substance was found in his pocket.
The defendant’s Attorney Euclin Gomes made an application for bail, after alleging that the charges were made due to an ongoing feud between the Police and Stouffle. The Prosecutor objected to bail, citing the nature and gravity of the charge, adding that there were no special reasons put forward for bail to be granted. The objections were upheld and bail was denied. The man was remanded to prison and the matter was transferred to Court Five for November 23 where it will appear before Magistrate Fabayo Azore for report and fixture.
