Nicole Sawyer, 35, of Kwakwani, was given a second chance on Tuesday after she pleaded guilty to a drug possession charge.
Sawyer had in her possession four grams of cannabis on July 20, last.
Police Corporal, Deniro Jones, informed the court that on the day in question, ranks from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) acting on information, went to the home of the defendant and conducted a search in her presence and found the articles on her. The defendant was then taken to the Kwakwani Police Station where her particles were weighed.
Sawyer told the Police that the cannabis was hers; she was then cautioned about the dangers of the drug and was arrested.
During the brief court hearing, Magistrate Ann McLennan asked her what she had to say for herself. The young woman pleaded with the Magistrate for leniency. She said that she was sorry for her mistakes, had learnt from her experiences and would go forward in the future to respect the laws of the land.
Sawyer also stated that her “child father” put the stuff in her hand and she hid it in her waist after hearing the voice of the Sergeant. “Then they come in de room and found it on me.”
Initially, the defendant was fined $15,000 and two weeks of community service at the Kwakwani Police Station.
Magistrate Ann McLennan eventually dismissed the case.
