A Paget man denied money laundering and a plot to import heroin when he appeared in Supreme Court yesterday.

Damon Morris, 26, pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiring with others to import 86.38g of diamorphine, commonly known as heroin, between an unknown date and December 13 last year.

He further denied three counts of possessing around 50g of cocaine freebase with intent to supply on January 22 and one count of possessing drug equipment, specifically a digital scale, on the same date.

Mr Morris similarly denied two money-laundering charges, related to incidents on December 13 last year and an unknown date before January 22 this year.

Puisne Judge Charles-Etta Simmons extended Mr Morris’s bail, setting a trial date of November 7.

The matter was one of several to be brought forward during yesterday’s arraignments session.

Also appearing was Coltrane Ratteray, 49, who denied multiple counts of burglary and one count of prowling.

Prosecutors allege that Mr Ratteray entered a Warwick home as a trespasser on the evening of April 28.

Around two weeks later, on May 14, he allegedly prowled around a home on Spring Hill Close and entered another as a trespasser. The final charge relates to an incident on May 18, for which he has been charged with entering as a trespasser in a Warwick home. Mr Ratteray was remanded into custody.

He is expected to return to the court for trial on August 15.
