Customs officer Lucille Brenda Scotland of Fond Baron, Loubiere, and Josiah Michael Quammie of Eggleston were jointly charged for drug trafficking of 930 grams of cannabis when they appeared before Chief Magistrate Candia Carrette-George at a Roseau Magistrate court earlier today.<\/p>\n

Scotland was arrested on suspicion at the Douglas Charles Airport on Friday, February 16, 2024, for drug trafficking.<\/p>\n

The drugs were reportedly found in a FedEx box.<\/p>\n

Scotland pleaded not guilty to the charge brought against her, while Quammie pleaded guilty.<\/p>\n

She was granted bail for $6000, with Henry Williams standing as surety.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Quammie, who was unable to present a surety was bailed for $2000 on his own recognizance and was ordered to return to court on Tuesday, February 27, 2024, to have his bail conditions reviewed.<\/p>\n

The trial is set for Wednesday, April 10, 2024, in Marigot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Customs officer Lucille Brenda Scotland of Fond Baron, Loubiere, and Josiah Michael Quammie of Eggleston were jointly charged for drug trafficking of 930 grams of cannabis when they appeared before Chief Magistrate Candia Carrette-George at a Roseau Magistrate court earlier…","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":260250,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[19,235,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-317540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime-court-law","category-homepage-carousel","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nBail granted for customs officer charged with drug trafficking -
