The two men jointly charged for the more than $1 million drug seizure in the Bridgetown Port last Thursday have been remanded to her Majesty’s Prisons Dodds.
Graham Bradley Johnson, 35, of Mount View, St Lucy, and 43-year-old Norris Rohan Jackson, of Manning Village, St Michael, who both work at the port, are accused of having cannabis, intent to supply, trafficking, and collaborating with each other to traffic. The drugs, weighing 465.74 pounds, were discovered in a vehicle by port authorities.
Johnson, an air-conditioning and refrigeration technician, and Jackson, a freighter, were not required to plead to the indictable charges when they appeared in the District “A” Magistrates’ Court yesterday.
Prosecutor Sergeant Rudy Pilgrim objected to bail, citing the seriousness of the charges, their place of employment and the likelihood of them taking flight.
Magistrate Douglas Frederick denied bail and ordered the two to return to court on May 7. (YB)
