Young mother charged for trafficking

Georgetown Magistrate Leron Daly on Thursday placed 21-year-old Kimberly Jupiter on $100,000 bail when she appeared in her court to answer a trafficking-in-person charge.
It has been alleged that on March 7, 2018 at Independence Boulevard, La Penitence, Jupiter had in her possession 236 grams of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking.
Police Prosecutor Richard Harris told the court the marijuana was found in a room the defendant occupied with several other persons, but Jupiter admitted to the Police that the cannabis belonged to her boyfriend, who was not at the said house at the time.
Defence Attorney George Thomas, who represented Jupiter, told the magistrate that his client has no previous or pending matters before the court, and is mother of a six-month-old baby. Thomas asked that bail be granted in a small sum.
There was no information provided in relation to the person whom Jupiter described as her “boyfriend”.
Bail was granted, and the matter was adjourned to April 4.
