A prisoner, remanded on Wednesday in connection with an $8.9M burglary, appeared in court again yesterday. This time, Darren Schultz, was accused of having drugs in the Georgetown Prisons.
Schultz was reportedly nabbed by prison warders, moments after he returned to the facility from a court hearing.
Yesterday, Schultz appeared before Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and pleaded not guilty to possession of narcotics charge. It is alleged that on Wednesday, last, at Camp Street Prison, Georgetown, Schultz had two grammes of cocaine in his possession.
His lawyer, Konyo Sandiford Thompson, made a bail application for him. According to the Attorney, her client borrowed a pair of pants from an acquaintance in Linden to wear to Court.
She said that after his court appearance he was taken to the Camp Street facility where a search was conducted and the illicit substance was found in the pants pocket.
Her application was opposed to by Police Prosecutor, Corporal Deniro Jones, who cited the nature, gravity and penalty the offence attracts. In his objections, Jones also informed the Court that the acquaintance did not confirm ownership of the pants.
The Magistrate ordered that Schultz be sent back to prison pending his trial. He will make his next Court appearance on January 7, next year, before Magistrate Fabayo Azore.
