A drug user with convictions dating back to the 1960s was fined $3,000 yesterday after another Police raid on his house.

Alvin Chapman, whose Lighthouse Road, Southampton, residence should be renamed 'Chapman's Pharmacy' according to Acting Senior Magistrate Carlisle Greaves, admitted to possession of diamorphine, cannabis and equipment for using crack cocaine.

The 58 year old has more than 30 years of drug charges behind him leaving Mr. Greaves to call for the maximum fine for these latest offences.

Police executed a search warrant on the premises on October 2 last year where they found 2.57 grams of cannabis as well as a razor blade and tubing, later found to contain traces of crack cocaine.

When searched at the Police station, officers also found 0.03 grams of diamorphine in a packet in Chapman's pocket.

"There were other people in the house at the time, but I have decided just to plead guilty," said Chapman, whose house has become a notorious haunt for drug users, the court was told.

"Lord have mercy, you really love this (drugs)," said Mr. Greaves before ordering Chapman to pay $3,000 immediately or face six months in jail.

"If you can afford so many drugs, you can afford this. There are so many drugs at your place, you should call it 'Chapman's Pharmacy'."

Fredrina Marcelle Darrell, 33, of Khyber Heights Road, Warwick, and now heavily pregnant, was also in the house at the time of the Police search.

She was found in possession of a green glass bottle with a straw in it which was found, after analysis, to contain traces of crack cocaine.

She apologised to the court before being fined $500 for possession of equipment for the use of drugs.
