Last month, a team of police officers went to his home to conduct a search on his property for illegal drugs and firearms. They asked him if he had any illegal items to declare, and that's when he handed over an envelope of marijuana, which amounted to 150 grams - or 5.29 ounces.

That's 15 times more than an adult is allowed to legally possess after the marijuana decriminalization law took effect. So, police arrested and charged him with drug trafficking.

He was arraigned today before Magistrate Stephanie Gillett, where the point was made that the drugs were for his personal use, and not for sale. He was then allowed to plead guilty to the lesser charge of drug possession, and the Magistrate sentenced him to pay a fine of $500.
