'i Found Pot In Bush'


Recommended Posts

A MAN has been sentenced to community service after police found more than 9kg of cannabis at his home.

 

Robert Little, 26, of Rossglen, about 40km south of Port Macquarie, appeared before magistrate Thomas Hodgson on Monday .

 

He had pleaded guilty to a charge of supplying cannabis.

 

Little told police in April he had found the cannabis in a bag in bushland.

 

His solicitor, Michael Giles, said there was no evidence to the contrary to say how it had been obtained.

 

There was no proof “any commercial gain whatsoeverâ€, Mr Giles said.

 

Little also had been “fully compliant†with police.

 

Port Macquarie Local Court’s Mr Hodgson had regard to the quantity of cannabis, the submission on penalty and a pre-sentence report.

 

He said he believed Little would come back “a lot worse†if he was sent to jail.

 

He ordered Little to perform 300 hours’ community service as a direct alternative to 18 months in prison.

 

The drugs are to be destroyed.
