A MAN was fined $6,500 after admitting to having 4.8lb of marijuana in his car near Potter’s Cay Dock earlier this week.
Magistrate Samuel McKinney charged Robin Ferguson, 27, Javar Ferguson, 26, and Marvin Bodie, 22, with possession of dangerous drugs with intent to supply.
The trio were arrested after police found several packages containing a total of 4.8lb of marijuana in their vehicle near Potter’s Cay Dock on December 5.
The drugs seized have an estimated street value of $4,800.
Robin Ferguson pleaded guilty to the charge while his co-accused - Javier Ferguson and Marvin Bodie - pleaded not guilty. The charges against Javier Ferguson and Bodie were dropped.
Magistrate McKinney ordered Robin Ferguson to pay a fine of $6,500 or face a one-year prison sentence. He must pay $4,500 of his debt before his release, with the balance to be paid by the end of December.
