Bail for Tobagonian on Trafficking Charge

Weed-Marijuana

Tobagonian Dale Alexander was granted $120,000 bail on Monday after he appeared in court charged with trafficking 3.12 kilogrammes of marijuana. 

Alexander, 42, of Plymouth, was charged by Port Police officer Marlon Taylor last Monday after he was seen acting “fidgety” after he had parked his truck aboard the Warrior Spirit bound for Tobago. 

Alexander, a truck driver and Defence Force Reserve, was arrested after he was allegedly caught with the marijuana which had been wrapped in five individual cellophane packages—which were then wrapped in newspaper, placed in a coffee box and sealed. Alexander, who was unrepresented, appeared before Senior Magistrate Annette McKenzie.
