That is exactly what happened with Hammond, whose deal, according to a judgment issued in December, was ticked off by Justice Christine Grice. Hammond was jailed in 2018 for four years and nine months after pleading guilty to possessing a range of drugs, including MDMA and cannabis for supply, and firearms charges. Hammond has a lengthy criminal history, as well as a legitimate interest in selling kauri stumps. Palmerston North police searched a property Hammond lived at in April 2016, finding 1.28kg of MDMA, 250 grams of cannabis, $398,700 cash, a .22 pistol with silencer and ammunition, and a ⅓ full Powerade bottle containing GBL. That came a year after police seized $79,840 cash, which was found in a black rubbish bag by cleaners at the Langham Hotel in Auckland.
