Cup Match cricketer denies drug charges
St George’s Cup Match cricketer Fiqre Crockwell appeared in Magistrates’ Court this morning to answer charges of possessing heroin with intent to supply.
Mr Crockwell, who scored a half-century in the second innings of the Annual Classic at Somerset Cricket Club last year, denied possessing 0.49 grams of heroin in St George’s on August 27, 2013.
The 29-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman plays for league champions St David’s and was originally listed as a member of the ill-fated Bermuda squad that would travel to Malaysia last October for the ICC World Cricket League Division Three tournament before withdrawing from the squad for “personal reasons”.
He was granted $3,000 bail, with a trial date set for May 20.
Also in court today, 27-year-old Detroy Bean, of Sandys, pleaded not guilty to one charge of possessing cannabis in Southampton on October 31 last year.
Magistrate Khamisi Tokunbo granted $1,500 bail and set a trial date for May 19.
In a separate matter, a 49-year-old Southampton man denied causing grievous bodily harm by driving carelessly.
John Cordeiro allegedly committed the offence against Marion Pitt on Middle Road, Southampton, on September 4 last year.
Mr Tokunbo granted $3,000 bail and set a trial date for May 20.
