Narcotics accused remanded

Sep 01, 2012 News

Brian Nicholas who is accused of being in possession of 5.9 grams of cocaine and 2.5 grams cannabis intended for trafficking was yesterday remanded to prison. Nicholas pleaded not guilty to the charge when he appeared before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton.
Reports are that on Thursday, August 30, police ranks acting upon information visited the Grove Housing Scheme area where they saw Nicholas acting in a suspicious manner. When the suspect made eye contact with the ranks he ran, the police chased him and he was apprehended. A search was conducted on the suspect and the cocaine and marijuana were discovered in a haversack that he was carrying.
The unrepresented accused asked for bail but was denied after prosecutor Wynette Hubbard opposed the application. The prosecutor asked that Nicholas be denied bail based on the seriousness of the offence. Nicholas will remain in police custody until November 12 when his case will be presented to another magistrate at the Providence Magistrate’s Court.
