A prison officer was yesterday charged with possession of dangerous drugs with intent to supply.
Ervin Miller, 51, was represented by attorney Tonique Lewis.
When Magistrate Constance Delancy asked Miller whether he would plead guilty or not guilty, Miller requested a moment to speak with his lawyer.
After a moment, Delancy again asked Miller for his plea. However, Lewis requested that her client's family be allowed into the courtroom so that he could comfortably make his plea. Delancy denied the request and Miller eventually pleaded not guilty.
Miller was not eligible for bail and was remanded to prison. Delancy said she would ensure that steps will be taken to ensure Miller's safety while in prison.
According to reports, Miller was searched by officers from the Drug Enforcement Unit on Wednesday.

They reportedly found $700 on him.
