A football coach was on Wednesday remanded to prison after he appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts charged with possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.
Colin John, 35, of Lot 183 Eccles, East Bank Demerara, denied the charge which stated that on November 29 he was found to be in possession of 21 grams of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking.
Prosecutor Deniro Jones told the court that on the day in question, the Police stopped a car that the accused was travelling in and requested to conduct a search.
During the search, the Police reportedly found the narcotics in the passenger side seat in several transparent plastic bags.
The Prosecutor objected to bail on the grounds of the seriousness and prevalence of the offence. Bail was denied and John was remanded to prison. He will return to court on January 4.
