Wendell Andrews appeared before City Magistrate Judy Latchman in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, where he denied the allegation which stated that on May 25 at Cross and Leopold Streets, Georgetown, he had in his possession nine grams of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.
Police Inspector Daniels objected to bail being granted to the defendant citing the serious nature of the offence and the penalty the charge attracts. Andrews will make his next court appearance on June 19.
