Vendor charged for attempting to smuggle Vodka to prisoner

McLennan denied the allegation which stated that on May 24 at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts lock-ups he took two water bottles containing alcohol to murder accused Howard Rambarose.
McLennan was represented by Attorney Tiffany Jeffrey, who in an application to secure bail for her client, told the court that her client resides at Lot 6 Second Street Meadow Bank, East Bank Demerara, is a father of four, and has no previous matter.
Police Prosecutor Arvin Moore had no objection to bail being granted to the clothes vendor, but asked that it be in a substantial amount. The prosecutor told the court that on the day in question the defendant brought two bottles with what appeared to be water to the court for the murder accused. The court heard that when the rank opened the bottles he smelled a strong alcohol scent.
As a result, the said bottles were seized, and the defendant was arrested and taken to the station. The accused will make his next court appearance on June 12.
