NASSAU- An accused drug dealer whose bail was revoked shortly after his deportation from Jamaica has appealed.
Bartholomew Pinder, 41, entered Jamaica illegally in June while awaiting trial on charges related to the seizure of 400 pounds of marijuana at Highbourn Cay.
Jamaican police arrested and questioned Pinder following the seizure of 2,600 pounds of marijuana in Lancer Bay, Hanover on June 25.
However, he didn’t face charges related to the drug seizure.
Instead, Pinder was charged with illegal landing. He pleaded guilty and was deported.
Officers from the Drug Enforcement Unit arrested Pinder when he arrived at the Lynden Pindling International Airport.
Prosecutors later applied to revoke Pinder’s $20,000 bail for not complying with reporting conditions.
A judge granted the application and remanded Pinder to the Bahamas Department of Corrections.
