A MAN was ordered to complete 25 hours of community service after admitting to marijuana possession.

Leo Whyms, 34, appeared before Magistrate Shaka Serville on a charge of possession of dangerous drugs. On April 1 in New Providence, Whyms was arrested after he was found with one gram of Indian Hemp. He pleaded guilty and said the drugs were for his own personal use.

Whyms was granted a conditional discharge and placed on three months probation. He was also ordered to complete 25 hours of community service. Failure to complete these would result in a $450 fine or a one month prison sentence.
