Feb 12, 2025 News

Kaieteur News-A 29-year-old man was on Tuesday remanded to prison when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court to answer to a possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking charge.

Teshawn McKenzie of Lot 6A Laing Avenue, West Ruimveldt, Georgetown was charged for possession of 75 grams of weed on February 5, 2025 at his home.

McKenzie pleaded guilty after the charge was read to him by Acting Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty.

He told the court that he and his wife purchased the weed for her birthday party. However, it was canceled and they were holding onto it in the event they decided to use it in the future.

The prosecution stated the weed was found when a search was being conducted after there was a brake and enter into a Chinese store within the area. The police officer disclosed that they were conducting random searches within the area with the aim of recovering the stolen items.

The policeman said that intel was received that the McKenzies were involved in the robbery and was hiding the items and money. A search of his home unearthed the weed but not the stolen items or money.

Magistrate McGusty remanded McKenzie to prison and requested that a Probation Report be completed by the Ministry of Social services, after which she will make her ruling.

The case was adjourned to March 4, 2025.
