Walter Prescod, who denies charges involving 121.4 kilogrammes of cannabis, told the No. 4 Supreme Court on Thursday that the discovery of drugs aboard the yacht on which he worked came as a surprise.
The 63-year-old, of Emerald Park East, St Philip, has denied possessing the cannabis within Barbados’ territorial waters, importing it and having a traffickable quantity of the illegal substance on July 23, 2018.
After Acting Director of Public Prosecutions Alliston Seale SC closed the State’s case, Prescod opted to make an unsworn statement from the dock.
