Gillis said he was on parole and was in possession of marijuana and a pipe.
He told police âI donât want to go back to jail for a little bit of weedâ.
Police saw inside the car a clip seal bag with 7g of marijuana and a brass pipe.
Gillis told police heâd paid $50 for the drugs the evening before and hadnât smoked any yet.
Gillis pleaded guilty in Gladstone Magistrates Court on Monday to possessing dangerous drugs and possessing a utensil.
Defence lawyer Cassandra Ditchfield said the 29 year old had remained clean since being released from jail and was determined not to go back to that lifestyle, however the stress from the separation from the mother of his children had made him turn back to marijuana.
