A Trinidad-based Guyanese may not be able to return to the twin island republic in the foreseeable future as planned as he found himself arraigned before the court of Magistrate Fabayo Azore on Wednesday morning, following an allegation of 
trafficking in narcotics.
When he appeared before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, Terry Miles pleaded not guilty to the charge which stated that on September 18, 2017, he was in possession of 270 grams of cannabis for trafficking purposes.
Police Prosecutor Simone Payne objected to bail on the grounds of the seriousness and prevalence of the offence, coupled with the penalty attached for breach of the prohibition act.
The 39-year-old unrepresented man was cut short when he attempted to explain his version of events. However, the court understands that he recently returned to Guyana and was temporarily residing at Rosignol, West Bank Berbice during his time in the country.
Miles indicated that he was currently unemployed and was expecting to return to Trinidad during the next month.
Bail was refused and the case adjourned to October 4, 2017. Miles remains on remand until then.
