Don Miguel Pavy, 33, David Callender, 26, Romeo Jerome, 22, all of Cumana, Toco, are charged with being in possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking in contravention of Section 5(4) of the Dangerous Drugs Act.
They were held by police with 336 kilogrammes of marijuana and were subsequently denied bail when they appeared before Senior Magistrate Cheril-Anne Blake in the Sangre Grande Magistrates’ Court on November 26 last year. On that occasion, they were advised of their right to apply to a judge in chambers for bail.
Four days later, the men’s attorney Maillard Howell, applied to Soo-Hon for bail, asking the judge to consider the fact that the men were first-time offenders. Bail totalling $15 million was granted, but more than a month later, the men have been unable to secure bail for such a large quantum.
Howell will ask Soo-Hon to vary her bail in an in-chambers hearing next week Friday.
