A GERMAN resident and two other men were placed on six months’ probation yesterday after admitting in court of having a gram of Indian hemp.
Wilfried Haslauer, 22, represented by attorney Bjorn Ferguson, with Jaquan Huyler, 25, and Jaico Chute, 24, faced Magistrate Samuel McKinney. They were charged with possession of dangerous drugs.
The accused were arrested on February 19 in New Providence after they were found with one gram of Indian hemp.
In court the trio, having pleaded guilty to the offence, were granted a conditional discharge. They were placed on six months’ probation. If they violate their probation, they face a $500 fine or one month in prison.
Another man, Collins Florissant, 21, appeared before Magistrate McKinney on a separate drug charge. While Florissant was initially charged with possession of dangerous drugs with intent to supply, this charge was reduced to simple possession.
On February 21 in New Providence, Florissant was arrested after he was found with a little more than an ounce of Indian hemp.
After Florissant pleaded guilty to the charge in court, he was fined $500. Failure to pay will result in three months in prison.
