A MAN was ordered to attend drug counselling after admitting to having 30 grams of marijuana in his car in Fox Hill last week.
Senior Magistrate Raquel Whyms arraigned Mark Smith, 20, and his girlfriend, Timoya Cooper, 20, on two counts of possession of dangerous drugs.
Police reportedly stopped Smith’s car on February 14, searched him and the vehicle, and recovered 30 grams of marijuana in two separate packages.
Smith pleaded guilty, while Cooper pleaded not guilty, leading to the charge against her being withdrawn. Smith admitted to smoking marijuana recreationally and apologised for his actions.
The court placed him on six months probation, requiring him to enrol in drug counselling. If he fails to comply, he will face one month in prison.
Sergeant 2257 Wilkinson served as the prosecutor.
