Mercedes-Benz GL 450 SUV owned by Reggae singer George Nooks was searched by Narcotics police on Tuesday.

The search was done in the presence of the ‘God Is Standing By’ singer’s attorney Christopher Townsend.

Law enforcement officers seized George Nooks’ Mercedes-Benz last Thursday after he was arrested on drug charges.

Nooks is being represented by Christopher Townsend and Kaysain Kennedy of TWP Attorneys-at-Law as well as Tom Tavares-Finson, QC, and Donahue Martin.

“My client has denied any wrongdoing…We are in the process of making an application for the return for his motor vehicle that is still in the possession of the police. When it is that disclosure is made to us, we can have a formal view on how we treat with the allegations,” Martin told the Jamaica Observer.

The 59-year-old entertainer arrested for an April 2019 incident and charged with possession of cocaine and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

After spending a night in police lock-up Nooks was freed the following day in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court in Half-Way-Tree. His bail is set at $300,000 and he is scheduled to reappear in court on January 13

Allegations are that Nooks ingested “some substance” after being accosted by the police in Liguanea, St Andrew, in April 2019. He was taken to Kingston Public Hospital for observation and subsequently released.
