One of this island’s musicians appeared contrite before the law courts today on charges of possession and cultivation of marijuana.
Romel Ulric Bennett, the singer/song writer who goes by the stage name Sanctuary, a resident of St John, also faced charges of possession with intent to traffic and supply the illegal substance.
He pleaded guilty to all four charges before Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes and was placed on a bond to keep the peace and be of good behavior for nine months on the cultivation charge, after his attorneys Michael Lashley Q.C. and Simon Clarke “persuaded” the Chief Magistrate on several mitigating features of his case. If he breaches the bond he will have to pay the court $1 500 forthwith or spend six months in prison.
