A WOMAN was fined $3,500 after admitting to having 51 marijuana-infused cookies in her house this week.
Magistrate Samuel McKinney initially charged Nathasha Blaise, 27, and Christopher Victor, 20, with possession of dangerous drugs with intent to supply.
The pair were arrested in Fox Hill after a police search of a residence recovered 51 marijuana-infused cookies on December 12.
Ms Blaise pleaded guilty to the offence, while her co-accused pleaded not guilty.
Following this, her charge was reduced to simple possession of dangerous drugs and the charge against Victor was dropped.
Magistrate McKinney then ordered that Blaise pay a fine of $3,500 or risk six months in prison. She was further placed on an 18-month probation period, for which being found in default would carry a six-month prison term.
