The committal hearing for Denfield Roberts, 49, and Deshawn Lattibeaudiere, 23, who are accused of trafficking Hashish, has been adjourned until October 30.

In May police reportedly discovered over 50 lbs of Hashish at the Jennings residence of two individuals.

During the search, authorities reportedly found a total of 52.9 pounds of Hashish, a controlled substance.

The estimated street value of the Hashish found is $590,200.

 

Roberts and Lattibeaudiere were charged with various offenses including possession of 52.9 pounds of hashish, possession with intent to transfer, being concerned with supplying, importation, and drug trafficking.

They were denied bail when they first appeared in court in May and when they reappeared this week, their hearing was pushed back.

Hashish, also known as hash, is derived from the resin of the cannabis plant. The resin is collected, dried, and pressed into blocks for consumption. It contains high levels of THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis, and can be smoked or added to food.
