Woman who attempted to smuggle ganja in slippers remanded to prison

Thirty-year-old Eon Jordon, who was attempting to smuggle a quantity of ganja in two pairs of slippers, into the Guyana Prison Service (GPS) Headquarters, was charged and remanded to prison on Friday.

Jordon appeared before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts and pleaded not guilty to the charge which stated that on August 22, she had 227 grams of cannabis in her possession.
Police stated that on the day in question, a quantity of cannabis was found wrapped in two pairs of slippers, which were intended for a prisoner.
The woman was arrested and the ganja was weighed and amounted to 227 grams. However, the prosecutor objected to bail based on the seriousness and prevalence of the offence.
Jordon will make her next court appearance on September 15.
