Woman admits possessing cannabis

A 32-year-old woman has pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis following a search warrant early this year.

Police attended a residence on Fentons Drive, Pembroke, with a canine unit shortly before 5.30pm on January 7.

Magistrates’ Court heard that officers asked Okeisha Clarke if she was in possession of any illegal drugs.

“Yes, in my back pocket,” she replied.

The marijuana, totaling 3.39 grams, and a partially-burnt marijuana cigarette were seized by police.

Asked by Magistrate Khamisi Tokunbo if she had anything to say in court, Clarke responded: “They didn’t have to look for it. I gave it up. I was co-operative.”

He adjourned sentencing until Tuesday, June 27, pending reports. Clarke was granted $1,000 bail.
