The accused was sentenced for possession of marijuana contrary to section 4(1) of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
The accused had previously been sentenced to a conditional sentence of two years less a day for trafficking in cocaine.
Within two weeks of the conditional sentence order, the accused breached two conditions: failing to remain in his residence and breaching the condition to keep the peace and be of good behaviour by possessing marijuana.
The accused acknowledged both breaches and pled guilty to the possession charge.
The court imposed a fine of $150 plus victim fine surcharge for the possession offence and suspended the conditional sentence order, directing the accused to serve 87 days in custody (90 days less 3 days pre-trial custody credit), with amended conditions upon release including 75 hours of community service.
