A Jamaican visitor has denied trying to leave Bermuda with $10,671 in undeclared cash.

Dean Fagon, 44, was arrested at L.F. Wade International Airport on Wednesday as he allegedly tried to fly out with the mixture of Bermudian and American currency.

This morning, Magistrate Khamisi Tokunbo released the Florida-based defendant on $15,000 bail, awaiting his return to court for mention on September 2.

He ordered Mr Fagon to only reside at the Clear View Suites & Cottages in Hamilton in the meantime, to surrender all travel documents and to report to Hamilton Police Station every day.
