Attorney-at-law and former police Inspector George Adolphus Bennett was spending Wednesday night in prison on remand after he and a Guyanese man were charged in connection with the discovery of 253 kilogrammes of cannabis worth just over $2 million.But his legal team of Queen’s Counsel Andrew Pilgrim and Angela Mitchell-Gittens had already applied to the Supreme Court for emergency bail in a bid to ensure that their client’s first night in HMP Dodds would be his last pending trial.Both Bennett, 61, of No. 103, 1st Avenue Warners Gardens and co-accused, 33-year-old Guyanese national Dharma Rudradeo who was staying at the same address, were remanded when they appeared before Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes in the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court which is currently sitting in the Supreme Court Complex.
