Three marijuana plants yield $1000 fine
An Oil Springs man who was caught with three marijuana plants in his yard and with dried marijuana in his home was fined $1,000 in Sarnia court.
Roger Pindus, 55, pleaded guilty on Dec. 23 to the Sept. 24 possession of marijuana.
A police raid found the plants in the yard where Pindus was arrested. In the home there was an ounce of dried marijuana and some marijuana that had not been dried.
Pindus's criminal record includes drug offences but there was a substantial gap since his last conviction, said defence lawyer Ken Marley.
There was a joint submission by Crown and defence lawyers for the $1,000 fine.
Given the gap in Pindus's record and his acceptance of responsibility for the offence, Justice Anne McFadyen said she would accept the joint submission.
