Marvin Woolridge, from St George's, pleaded guilty to three charges of importation of a controlled drug as well as three counts of possession with intent to supply, all committed on February 4, 2018.

It was further alleged that Mr King had in his possession a digital scale for the preparation of a controlled drug. He pleaded not guilty to all of the charges and a trial date was set for May.

A 37-year-old man from Sandys was accused of carrying out a serious sexual assault on September 6, 2018. He denied the charge, as well as a second count that alleged he trespassed at a property with the intent to assault a person on the same date.

The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was expected to face a trial in June.
