A barber was on Tuesday before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, charged for aiding the trafficking of 178 grams of cocaine.
Jose Jacobs, of Lot 1814 Unity Place, Festival City, Georgetown, denied that between November 1-21, 2017, in Georgetown, he aided persons to traffic narcotics.
According to the man’s attorney, his client was entrusted by his cousin to pick up a money transfer of which he was unaware was linked to narcotics trafficking.
As such, he asked that Jacobs be granted his pre-trial liberty at a reasonable sum.
Police Prosecutor Gordon Mansfield had no objection to bail being granted, however, he requested that the 32-year-old man report to the narcotics branch located at Eve Leary every Friday.
Bail was granted in the sum of $200,000. The case will continue on January 31.
