Rene Horsford of Villa and Otis George of Fort Road were jointly charged with several drug-related offences by the Police and were subsequently taken before the St. John’s Magistrates Court.
The charges included possession of 262.3 grammes of cannabis; possession with intent to transfer the illegal drug; and being concerned with the supplying of cannabis.
Horsford pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis and not guilty on the other charges before Magistrate Dane Hamilton, Jr.
The charges against George were withdrawn by the prosecutor after he pleaded not guilty to all three offences.
Hamilton Jr. advised the defendant that the fine has to be paid on or before December 5, 2023, or in default he will spend 14 days at His Majesty’s Prison.
