Woman on arms, ammo charge
Nadine Shah, of Jamadar Street, San Fernando, pleaded not guilty to the three charges as well as Barry Brown and Kendell McIntosh.
However, McIntosh pleaded guilty to the cocaine possession charge which has a street value of $20.
Senior Magistrate Margaret Alert heard from the police prosecutor Sgt Denzil Alexander, that at about 11.30 am on Monday, Police Constable Trevor Rampersad of the San Fernando CID and other police officers, were on patrol at Gulf View, La Romaine, when on reaching Pizza Hut, they stopped a vehicle and searched it.
They found the cocaine in a compartment by the handbrake.
The magistrate reprimanded and discharged McIntosh on the cocaine charge on the ground that it was his very first offence and he was entitled to that opportunity, given also the fact that the street value was minimum such that if multiplied by three, would be $60.
McIntosh, however, pleaded not guilty to the gun and ammunition charges. Shah and Brown pleaded not guilty to the gun, ammunition and cocaine charges. Attorney Subhas Panday pleaded that Shah was a passenger in the vehicle.
The magistrate granted her own bail in the sum of $20,000, Brown was granted $75,00 and McIntosh - $50,000. They are to reappear on May 4.
