A MAN was fined in Magistrate’s Court after admitting to owning 18 grams of Indian hemp.
Matteo Rolle, 23, appeared before Magistrate Samuel McKinney on an initial charge of possession of dangerous drugs with intent to supply.
Rolle was arrested on October 18 after he was found with the drugs.
In court the accused pleaded guilty, but said he had only bought the drugs for his personal use.
As such, the magistrate reduced the charges to simple possession of dangerous drugs.
Rolle was fined $300 or in default, will face a two-month prison sentence.
