A Charlestown, Georgetown resident was on Friday released on $30,000 bail after he was charged with having 12 grams of marijuana in his possession.
Twenty-three-year-old James Murphy, a labourer of Charlestown, appeared before Magistrate Leron Daly at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
He denied the charge which stated that on August 14, 2019 at Lombard Street, Charlestown, he had in his possession 12 grams of marijuana.
Murphy was represented by Attorney-at-Law Paul Fung-A-Fat, who asked that his client be released on reasonable bail.
Police Prosecutor Traceyann Gittens did not object to bail being granted to the defendant. The matter will be called again on August 30, 2019.
