fined for possessing crack cocaine, a crack pipe and a twist of powdered cocaine.

Gerry Eugene Steede, 42, of North Shore Road committed the offences on September 24.

Police prosecutor Sgt. Peter Giles said Police stopped Steede on another matter and he was reluctant to release his helmet when asked to do so.

Inside the helmet they found 2.57 grams of cocaine, .38 grams of crack, and a glass pipe that had cocaine residue.

Steede, who also has a slew of prior drug offences, said the drugs were for his own personal use.

The Senior Magistrate fined him $150 for the pipe, $300 for the powdered cocaine and $400 for the crack.
