A MAN was fined $3,000 after admitting to throwing $810 worth of drugs onto the roof of a residence on Finlayson Street last month.
Senior Magistrate Raquel Whyms arraigned McNeil Etill, 35, on charges of possession of dangerous drugs with intent to supply and possession of dangerous drugs.
Prosecutors said Etill attempted to flee when police approached him outside a residence on January 29. Before the chase, he reportedly threw 8oz of marijuana onto the roof of a house.
After his arrest, police found an additional 3 grams of marijuana on him and confiscated $2,793.80, believed to be the proceeds of crime.
Etill pleaded guilty to the charges.
He was ordered to pay a $3,000 fine or serve nine months in prison. He was also placed on a one-year probation, with an additional four-month prison term if violated.
The seized money was forfeited to the Crown.
Sergeant 2257 Wilkinson prosecuted the case.
