Albouystown carpenter remanded for trafficking cocaine

A 63-year-old carpenter has been remanded to prison for narcotics trafficking, Police having allegedly caught him red-headed “cutting up” cocaine and packing same in Ziploc bags.
Ronald Hosib of Hunter Street, Albouystown, Georgetown appeared without legal representation on Tuesday before Chief Magistrate (ag) Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts and entered a not-guilty plea to the accusation that he had 13 grams of cocaine in his possession on October 27 at James Street, Albouystown with the intent to traffic.
Hosib fiercely defended himself by saying, “I don’t sell drugs!”, but the prosecution detailed that on the day in question, Hosib was allegedly seen by Police officers on mobile patrol in James Street “cutting up” the cocaine and putting it into small, clear Ziploc bags.
Hosib has been remanded to jail until November 29.
