Aubrey Brandt, 22, of Lot 51 Archer Street, Number Two Village, East Canje, Berbice, was yesterday remanded to prison by Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo when he appeared before her at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court on a charge of Possession of Narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.
Prosecutor Sergeant Godfrey Playter reported that around 02:00 hrs on December 29, last, the police, acting on information and after conducting surveillance, raided the defendant’s home where a search was carried out for narcotics, arms and ammunition.
During the search, a plastic bag was found under a bed. Scrutiny of the bag unearthed leaves, seeds and stems of what was suspected to be the marijuana plant. The items were seized and Brandt was arrested and escorted to Central Police Station where the items were tested and weighed and found to be 31 grammes of the prohibited plant. He was subsequently charged.
In court, Brandt pleaded guilty, but later changed his plea to not guilty, stating that he misunderstood what the Magistrate had said.
Bail was refused and he will have to return to court on February 12, next.
