Yhans Haughton is charged with possession, dealing in and attempting to export some 7.5 pounds of ganja

Yhans Haughton, 24, auto body repairman of Hampton in Runaway Bay, was offered $250,000 bail with one or two sureties, and ordered to report to the Runaway Bay police Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
He is charged with possession, dealing in and attempting to export some 7.5 pounds of ganja that was found in two secret compartments in a flight pack he had checked in. It is alleged that on March 31, he checked in a flight pack and a Pullman suitcase to board an Air Jamaica flight to Nassau, Bahamas. The flight pack was taken to the boarding gate and searched in his presence.
Eight packages containing vegetable matter resembling ganja were allegedly found. Under caution, he pleaded with the officer to give him a chance.
Defence attorney Adrian Dayes in a bail application told the court that his client got the flight pack to deliver to someone and that Haughton had no knowledge that it contained contraband.
The accused man is scheduled to return to court on May 15. In the meantime, the court is awaiting several statements and the forensic report to complete the case file.
