A St George’s man has been fined $2,000 after he was found in possession of a small quantity of cannabis.

Trevor Stevens was stopped by police as he drove along St David’s Road at around 11am on March 11, this year.

The 51-year-old was allowed to go on his way, but officers later attended his home after discovering he had outstanding warrants.

Stevens was then taken to Hamilton Police Station and searched. During the search police found a small plastic bag containing cannabis.

Today at Magistrates’ Court Stevens apologised for his actions and was fined.
