Small drug find lands big fine

“Ma’am I feel responsible. It will never happen again. I am very sorry it happened.”

These were the words of 28-year-old Andre Xavier Leacock, of Combermere Street, St. Michael, who pleaded guilty to having $15 worth of cannabis on January 20, 2019.

Prosecutor, PC Kenmore Phillips told the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court that the police were along Dalkeith Road and stopped the car which Leacock was driving and found the drug under the floor on the driver’s side.

Acting Magistrate Anika Jackson noted his early guilty plea and fined him $750 in a day or one month in jail.
