A MAN was fined $6,500 yesterday after admitting to having $3,040 worth of marijuana products in his home last week.
Magistrate Samuel McKinney charged Ian Hart, 35, with three counts of possession of dangerous drugs with intent to supply.
Alphonso Lewis represented the accused.
Hart was arrested in Kennedy Subdivision after a police search of his residence recovered an estimated $3,040 worth of marijuana-infused products on December 14.
These included 36 vape THC cartridges, 29 gummies, four mushrooms, 15 marijuana tapes, 31 Grenadine Vape pens, 51 marijuana cartridges, seven straps and eight grams of weed.
During this same drug bust, $860 was seized from the defendant’s home, suspected of being the proceeds of crime.
Hart pleaded guilty to all charges against him.
Magistrate McKinney ordered that he pay $6,500 or risk a nine-month prison term.
The defendant was expected to pay $1,500 before his release, with two further payments of $2,500 to be made on December 22 and January 8, 2024.
Hart was informed that the money seized during his arrest would be forfeited.
