A Manorbier man found in possession of 14 grammes of cannabis has been fined in court.
Thirty-one-year-old Gareth Cochrane, of Hounsell Avenue, pleaded guilty to the charge when he appeared at Haverfordwest magistrates court on Tuesday.
Prosecutor Vaughan Pritchard-Jones told the court that police on routine patrol in the Pembroke area at 6 pm, on October 23, carried out a document check on Mr. Cochrane and his vehicle.
“When officers spoke to him, they could smell cannabis in the car, and discovered a plastic bag containing the drug in the footwell.
“He accepted that it was his, but declined to say where he had bought it from,” he said.
Magistrates fined Mr. Cochrane £80 for the offence and ordered him to pay prosecution costs of £85 and a £30 victim surcharge. They also passed a destruction order for the drugs.
