US citizen remanded on drug charge

Sep 26, 2012 News

A United States citizen was yesterday remanded to prison on a drug possession charge.
Shawn Andrew Glasgow, 25, of 300 Hawthorne Avenue, Brooklyn, New York, appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court after he was intercepted last Monday at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport with what law enforcement officials have claimed is a quantity of cocaine, concealed in his luggage.
The accused pleaded not guilty to the charge which read that on September 24 at the Airport he had 4.196 kilos of cocaine in his possession which was intended to be used for trafficking.
According to police reports, Glasgow was an outgoing passenger scheduled to board a flight which was destined for New York City when he was intercepted by ranks of the anti-narcotic police after a “strange object” was detected in one of suitcases by the scanner as he was passing through the checkpoint.
Further checks made to the suitcase revealed that a whitish substance, suspected to be cocaine, had been concealed in a “false side” of the said baggage. The accused denied that the substance belonged to him, but he was arrested and subsequently charged.  The substance was later analyzed and confirmed to be cocaine.
Glasgow will return to court on October 3.
