LONDON: Zicco Pearman, 25, has denied a charge of importing six packages of the drug — discovered by customs officers in his suitcases — in an incident on July 30 last year.
As the trial began yesterday, Customs Officer Keisha Hollis told the court that she was carrying out compliance checks at LF Wade International Airport that afternoon when Jet Blue flight 1731 arrived from New York.
At around 1.30pm, she said Mr Pearman approached her desk with two black suitcases, a knapsack and a PlayStation 4 box.
“He came to my counter and said he needed to go outside and get an ATM card from his brother to pay his duty,” she said.
