Pri­ma­ry school teacher Kevin Do­man, who was al­leged­ly caught with co­caine at his work­place, has been grant­ed $65,000 bail.

Mas­ter Kim­i­tria Gray grant­ed bail af­ter she re­ceived a re­port from St Ann’s Psy­chi­atric Hos­pi­tal where he had been sent by the court to un­der­go a 14-day eval­u­a­tion.

The court or­dered that he at­tend a psy­chi­atric clin­ic at the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal and stay at his broth­er’s house.

Do­man, who has been teach­ing for 20 years, was ar­rest­ed on Sep­tem­ber 23 at the St Julien Pres­by­ter­ian School and charged with pos­ses­sion of co­caine for the pur­pose of traf­fick­ing.

Ini­tial re­ports stat­ed that of­fi­cers were on an ex­er­cise in the Princes Town dis­trict, when they re­spond­ed to a re­port at the school.

It is al­leged that the of­fi­cers ap­proached Do­man in an emp­ty class­room, searched a knap­sack which was in his pos­ses­sion and al­leged­ly found a quan­ti­ty of co­caine.

The drugs weighed 3.39 grams.

Do­man was rep­re­sent­ed by at­tor­ney Petron­il­la Bas­deo.

The mat­ter was ad­journed to No­vem­ber 17. —Sascha Wil­son
