Barry John Picot (31), of Rue de Crocquet, St Brelade, also faces other motoring charges.
In all, nine charges were put to him and Assistant Magistrate Peter Harris said: ‘I am aware of the circumstances and that eight of the alleged offences are connected to an incident that happened over the weekend.’
Mr Picot, who wore a grey T-shirt, only spoke to confirm his name and was remanded in custody after his brief appearance. The charges put to him were that on Friday he took and drove away a green Toyota Hilux from La Collette without the consent of the owner and that on the same occasion he criminally stole a Mariah 182 Shabah speedboat valued at £4,250. Mr Picot was also charged with conspiring to import heroin, cannabis and the heroin substitute Subutex between 21 and 22 July, driving while disqualified and without insurance and refusing to provide a specimen of breath, blood and urine. There was a further charge of acting in a manner likely to cause a breach of the peace on 5 July at Evans House in Springfield Crescent.
Mr Picot will next appear in court in two weeks’ time on 8 August.
