A MAN was granted bail yesterday after he was accused of trying to sell marijuana to an elderly American tourist earlier this week.

Senior Magistrate Shaka Serville arraigned Kyle Johnson, 32, on supplying dangerous drugs and possession of dangerous drugs.

Magistrate Serville also arraigned Larry Magwood, 72, of Alabama, on possession of dangerous drugs.

Johnson reportedly sold three grams of marijuana to Magwood on November 25 in New Providence.

While Magwood pleaded guilty to his charge, Johnson pleaded not guilty to his.

After prosecutor Inspector Cordero Farrington noted the American defendant’s age, he was only warned and discharged for the offence.

Johnson’s bail was set at $500 with one or two sureties. Under the terms of his bail, he must sign in at his local police station on the 14 and 18 of every month.

Johnson’s trial is scheduled to begin on March 6, 2025.
