wife and found drugs.

Officers found a total of 4.2 grammes of cannabis when they searched the house in Club Road, Smith's, which Nashion Smith, 28, shared with his wife Marcie, also 28.

Crown counsel Graveney Bannister said when Police entered the bedroom on January 20 and found two half-smoked cannabis joints, cannabis on a book and more in Nashion Smith's trousers, the defendant said: "It's mine, all mine''.

Smith, who had a previous conviction for possession of cannabis, admitted possession of cannabis and was fined $750 by Acting Senior Magistrate Edward King.

The Crown dropped charges of possession of cannabis against Marcie Smith, who had denied the offence. Smith's lawyer Mark Pettingill told the court yesterday: "My client is a casual user of marijuana. "He has admitted his wrong-doing. When his house was raided, he readily admitted it was his for his own personal use.''
