A MAN was fined in Magistrate’s Court yesterday for drug charges that breached the conditions of his probation for an earlier drug offence.
Demargio Walker, 24, of Godet Avenue, faced Magistrate Samuel McKinney on two counts of possession of dangerous drugs with intent to supply and one count of simple possession of dangerous drugs.
On August 30, Walker was arrested at his residence after police found three separate packages of Indian hemp in and around his home — 3oz, 2oz and 14 grams of marijuana were found in several separate plastic bags and wrappings.
Walker pleaded guilty to all three charges against him.
Prosecutor Inspector Timothy Bain told the judge that the accused had a earlier drug charge from May for which he was still serving six months probation.
Magistrate McKinney convicted Walker for the previous drug charge and fined him $500 for breaching his probation. Walker was also fined a collective $500 for his three new drug charges or risk one month in prison for each if he defaults on the fine.
Walker was ordered to pay half of his total $1,100 in fines before his release with the balance to be paid by September 16.
