AN American tourist admitted to having marijuana on his person while visiting Parliament Street earlier this week.
Magistrate Samuel McKinney charged Dontayue Hudson, 49, of Georgia, with possession of dangerous drugs.
Hudson was arrested on Parliament Street after police found him with three grams of marijuana on December 12.
After pleading guilty to the charge, Hudson apologised for his actions and said he was unaware that weed was illegal in the Bahamas.
Magistrate McKinney granted him a conditional discharge when Mr Hudson would be on six months probation. Should he default, he will face a $500 fine or one month in prison.
