TWO MEN were bound over to keep the peace after admitting to two separate drug offences yesterday.
Magistrate Samuel McKinney charged Bershawn Mullings, 25, and Alonzo Riley, 22, with separate charges of possessing dangerous drugs.
Mullings was arrested after police found him with five grams of marijuana in New Providence on October 25.
Riley was found with two grams of marijuana in a separate incident on the same day.
Both accused pleaded guilty to the charges against them. Under the terms of Mulling’s conditional discharge, he was bound over to keep the peace for six months. Failing these conditions would incur a $500 fine or a three-month prison term.
Riley’s conditional discharge ordered that he be bound over to keep the peace for one year or risk a similar $500 fine or three months in prison.
After Thompson pleaded guilty to the offence, he was ordered to pay a fine of $1,000 or risk six months in prison. He was further bound over to keep the peace for one year, for which defaulting would carry a one-year prison term.
