Senior Magistrate Raquel Whyms arraigned Vincent Thomson, 31, and Kenton Prosper, 35, for two counts of possession of dangerous drugs with intent to supply and possession of dangerous drugs.

The pair were allegedly found with 5 3/8 oz of marijuana, 6 grams of cocaine and 11 amphetamine pill on July 23.

Both defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges.

They will be fitted with monitoring devices. Prosper must sign in at the Wulff Road Police Station every Tuesday by 6pm. Thompson must sign in at the Quakoo Street Police Station every Tuesday by 6pm. 

The defendant’s trial begins on October 15.
