WARN CUSTOMERS ABOUT SPEAR FISHING CTS Warn customers about spear fishing A youth convicted of spearing fish has called on fishing tackle shops to warn customers about the law.

Jose Beek, 18, Orrick Smith, 21, and Nyquill Lambert, 20, were each fined $100 in Magistrates' Court yesterday for spear fishing in Brackish Pond Flat. Crown Counsel Mr. Mark Pettingill, prosecuting, said a fisheries warden saw them on September 13 last year, wearing masks and snorkels and diving repeatedly.

The warden saw a spear hanging over the side of the vessel. Inside were a freshly speared lobster, an angel fish and two grey snappers.

Smith and Beek, of Warwick, admitted spear fishing within a mile of the shore.

Lambert, of Devonshire, also admitted spear fishing a lobster and not having a lobster licence, for which he got a year's conditional discharge. "I didn't know that we had have a licence for the lobster,'' he said.

Beek told the court: "The shops that sell these spears, they should have some information to tell people when they buy them.'' "I agree with you,'' Magistrate the Wor. John Judge replied. "I do think you've got a good point.'' MAN SHOCKED BY COCAINE FIND CTS Man shocked by cocaine find A Pembroke man claims he was shocked when Police found cocaine while they were searching his pockets.

Carl Livingston Eugene Darrell, 35, of Middle Town Road, says he has been getting treatment for drug addiction.

And he told Magistrates' Court that he did not realise that the wrap of cocaine was in his pocket when Police searched him.

He said the 0.08 grams of 75 percent pure cocaine had probably been there a long time, from the period he was using it regularly.

Prosecuting, Sgt. Kenrick James said that Darrell had been arrested by Police in Middle Town Road concerning another matter.

Sgt. James said: "They found a small brown paper twist containing a small hard object. It contained two small pieces of a white crystal substance.

"When questioned by officers he said: `You did not find that on me. I know nothing about that'.'' Darrell said: "At the time I did not know it was in my pocket. I had been doing drugs and getting help for it. That had been in there for a while.'' Senior Magistrate the Wor. Will Francis fined Darrell $150.
