US resident to do time for drugs

Mario X , an events planner of Sometown, USA had the misfortune of being sent to prison for six months after pleading guilty to ganja possession charges in the Montego Bay Resident Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.

Attorney-at-law George Thomas who mitigated on Fortune's behalf, said his client was not trying to profit financially from the contraband but was taking it home for personal use. He also told the court that his client believes that Jamaican weed is of a much better quality than weed grown in other parts of the world.
