Former Progressive Labour Party election candidate Makai Dickerson is to face criminal charges following his arrest for alleged possession of cannabis.Mr Dickerson, 30, stood down on November 28 after news of his September arrest emerged.He said at that time: “While travelling to Dockyard one evening, some friends and I were pulled over at a checkpoint.“We were searched and a very small amount of marijuana was found on my person.“The substance was not mine and I didn’t even know it was there. It was stuffed at the bottom of my friends’ cigarette box which I had on my person.“As instructed by the officer, I will appear at the Hamilton Police Station on 16 December where I expect to receive a warning. I am certainly warned, and shaken.”In response to questions from this newspaper about what happened when Mr Dickerson went to Hamilton Police Station on Sunday, a police spokesman revealed that rather than a caution, Mr Dickerson is to face court action.“Mr Dickerson is expected to appear in court in due course,” said the spokesman, who did not reveal details of what Mr Dickerson has been charged with.Attempts to get comment from Mr Dickerson, his lawyer and the Progressive Labour Party did not yield a response.
