A Braddon man who pleaded guilty to possessing cannabis has been fined $10 – but still asked a magistrates for six months to pay the fine.
Rhys Dean Dugdale, 22, was arrested for drug possession and a failed knifepoint robbery at Kippax late last month[may].
He pleaded guilty to the cannabis charge in the ACT Magistrates Court yesterday afternoon but was sentenced for the drug possession on the spot. Advertisement: Story continues below
His defence lawyer argued that the man had no income and could not pay a fine but the prosecution submitted that Dugdale should receive a monetary punishment, even if it was out of the “pocket money” received by inmates at the Alexander Maconochie Centre.
Magistrate David Mossop convicted Dugdale and imposed a $10 fine for possessing cannabis.
Dugdale’s lawyer asked for six months to pay, which was granted.
Dugdale was committed to the Supreme Court on the charge of attempted aggravated robbery.
