Tonight, 29 year-old Donald Leslie Gaskin, a resident of Kraal Road is in custody, and he will remain there until he can meet bail after he was taken to court for being in possession of just under a pound of weed.
According to police, at around 11:20 in the morning on Friday, April 5, they were on mobile patrol in the Faber's Road area when they saw Gaskin acting suspiciously.
He had a knapsack in his possession and was seen trying to dispose of it inside a Chinese grocery store. But the shop-keeper, who noticed that he was trying to hide the bag in her shop, pushed back the bag at him.
Police detained Gaskin, and in his presence, they searched the bag and found 4 parcels of cannabis, amounting to 433 grammes - or 15 ounces inside it.
He was charged with drug trafficking, and arraigned today before Magistrate Dale Cayetano. He pleaded not guilty to the offence and was granted bail of $5,000, which he could not met up until midday today.
He was taken into custody, and will remain imprisoned until he is able to meet bail. Donald Gaskin is due back in court on May 14, 2013.
