A 49-year-old man was fined $1,500 yesterday after admitting to throwing a quantity of marijuana on the roof of his house last week.
Magistrate Samuel McKinney charged Marvin Duvalier with possession of dangerous drugs with intent to supply.
Duvalier was arrested on Windward Isles Road in Golden Gates on August 8 after police found 7 ½ oz of marijuana in a bag thrown on the roof of his house.
After pleading guilty to the charge, Duvalier was ordered to pay $1,500 or risk six months in prison. He was also placed on probation for 18 months.
Another man was fined $750 after admitting to a separate drug offence.
Magistrate McKinney charged Angelo Johnson, 18, with possession of dangerous drugs.
Johnson was arrested in New Providence after police found him with 42 grams of marijuana and 3 grams of amphetamines in 14 capsules on September 10.
Following his guilty plea, Johnson was fined $500 for the marijuana and $250 for the amphetamines. Failing to pay either fine would result in a three-month prison term.
