The accused, Glen Hector of Lot 41 New Street, was arrested on July 1, after police allegedly found narcotics and an unlicensed firearm in his possession during an operation at New Street, Cumberland Village.
Hector appeared before Magistrate Michelle Matthias at the Albion Magistrate’s Court on Monday, where two charges were formally laid against him: possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a firearm without a licence.
He pleaded not guilty to both charges.
The court denied bail, and he was remanded to prison until July 31, when the matter is scheduled to continue at the Reliance Magistrate’s Court.
