Duo granted bail for ganja found in washing machine

Dec 08, 2018 News

David Lynch and Oslyn Richards were yesterday lucky to be granted bail after being arranged before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in the Georgetown Magistrates Courts for the possession of narcotics.
The defendants were not required to plead to the indictable charge which alleged that on December 5, 2018 at Lot 157 Curtis Street, Albouystown they had in their possession 245 grams of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking.
The two accused were represented by attorney at law Kemo Griffith. He informed the court that Lynch is a 41-year-old mechanic and resides at 112 Craig Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara. He has six children and he does not have any previous convictions.
Richards is 39 years of age and resides at Curtis Street, Albouystown. She is a mother of three of whom is a special needs child with Downs syndrome. She is a mortician technician and a porter at Sandy’s Funeral Home.
The attorney stated that Richards was at work when she received a phone call from family members stating that police ranks were at her home and that she should come home. When she arrived the police were searching the premises after they reportedly found narcotics in an appliance.
The attorney argued that the defendant lives in an apartment building with about 10 apartments.
The prosecution did not object to bail because police stated that the narcotics were found in a washing machine in the yard under a stairway.
Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan granted bail to the defendants in the sum of $100,000 each under the condition that they report to the narcotics branch CID every Friday until the completion of the trail. The matter is adjourned until the 28 December.
