A MAN accused of having $240,000 worth of cocaine in his backpack aboard a plane at Rock Sound International Airport last week was granted $80,000 bail yesterday.
Prosecutors allege that Keyshawn Williams, 27, was found with 30lbs, or 12 kilograms, of cocaine after a white and blue Aztec aircraft landed in Eleuthera at 3.30pm on March 18.
Police also seized $3,358, which they suspect is the proceeds of crime.
Williams pleaded not guilty to charges of possession of dangerous drugs with intent to supply and conspiracy to possess dangerous drugs with intent to supply before Senior Magistrate Raquel Whyms.
His bail was set at $80,000. Under the terms of his bail, he must surrender his travel documents and be fitted with a monitoring device.
Williams must also sign in at the Central Police Station in Grand Bahama every Monday by 6pm.
His trial begins on June 1.
Sergeant 2257 Wilkinson prosecuted the case.
