A TEENAGER was placed on probation yesterday after admitting to having two grams of marijuana earlier this week.

The 18-year-old and Lusconder Jean, 20, both faced Magistrate Kara Turnquest-Deveaux on a charge of possession of dangerous drugs.

On January 31 in New Providence, being concerned together, the accused were arrested after they were found in possession of two grams of Indian hemp.

In court, the teenager pleaded guilty to the offence while his co-accused pleaded not guilty.

The teenager was granted a conditional discharge to be placed on probation for three months.

Should he breach his probation, he faces three months at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
