Man charged after CCTV footage shows cocaine falling from his pocket

MONTEGO BAY, St James — A man whose house was searched after camera footage linked him to a small quantity of cocaine discovered on the floor at Sangster International Airport has had his bail extended. He is to return to court on November 4.

Police reportedly found additional quantities of the drug at Andre Grant’s workstation. His place of employment is inside the airport. Charged with possession and dealing in cocaine, Grant appeared in the St James Parish Court before Judge Natiesha Fairclough-Hylton on Wednesday.

The court heard that on September 1, a police constable stationed in the airport’s departure hall observed a small yellow plastic bag on the ground. Upon examining the package, the cop reportedly found a white substance that later tested positive for cocaine.
