A prison officer will be spending Christmas with some of the same inmates he guarded after he was allegedly caught attempting to smuggle 70 grams of marijuana into the Camp Street penitentiary.
The accused, Maheshwar Jailall, was remanded to prison yesterday after appearing in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
It is alleged that on Monday, December 17, Jailall, a prison officer, took two jerseys into the Georgetown Prison and was seen entering a restricted area. A search was conducted on the defendant and the narcotics were found wrapped in the jerseys.
The defendant was arrested and later charged. Police have alleged that following his arrest, Jailall claimed that a barber who operated in the Stabroek Market area had asked him to take the drugs into the prison. However, when questioned, the barber denied knowing the accused.
Jailall is scheduled to return to court on January 2.
