Mark Flavius, 18, of 130 Fourth Street, Agricola, was given a second chance on Friday after he pleaded guilty to a drug possession charge.
Flavius, a former Guyana Technical Institute (GTI) student, had in his possession 2.2 grammes of cannabis on July 2, 2015.
Police Corporal, Deniro Jones, informed the court that on the day in question ranks from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) acting on information around 3:00 hrs went to the home of the defendant and conducted a search.
The search was carried out in his presence and the articles were found on him.
Flavius told the police that the cannabis was his; he was then cautioned about the danger of the drug by the Police Force and subsequently arrested.
Flavius’ Attorney, Paul Fung-a-Fat, requested that his client be released on reasonable bail because he has no knowledge of the alleged marijuana. He contended that his client has an unblemished criminal record.
During the brief court hearing, Magistrate Ann McLennan asked the defendant what he had to say for himself. The young man pleaded with the Magistrate to be lenient with him.
He said that he was sorry for his mistakes and that he has learnt from them and would go forward in the future to respect the laws of the land.
Magistrate Ann Mc Lennan eventually dismissed the case.
