Police arrested and charged 36-year-old Javin Maynard of Cedar Grove with unlawful possession of five .25 rounds of ammunition and unlawful possession of 37.5 grams of cannabis.[1] On Friday, February 28, police officers executed a warrant at his residence and found the illegal items in his possession.[1] He was taken into custody and was expected in court on the day of the charging report.[1]

Antigua News then reported that Maynard appeared before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel and admitted the cannabis charge but not the ammunition charge.[2] He was remanded to prison until May 21, when he was to return to court for trial.[2] Antigua News Room reported the same hearing, saying he would return to court on May 21 for trial after admitting unlawful cannabis possession and denying the ammunition charge.[3] Antigua News Room also recorded that police found the 37.5 grams of cannabis and five .25 rounds at his Cedar Grove home during a February 28 search.[3]

The Antiguan Trumpet reported that Maynard, represented by attorney Lawrence Daniel, entered a guilty plea to cannabis possession before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel.[4] The Trumpet account says that despite the guilty plea to the drug offence, his not guilty plea on the ammunition charge resulted in remand until the May court date, when he was to stand trial.[4]
