UK: Men fined for growing cannabis
Norwich Evening News
Thursday 26 Apr 2007 Two men have been fined after police discovered they were growing thousands of pounds worth of cannabis at their Norwich home. At Norwich Crown Court yesterday, David Francis, 46, of St Martins Close, Norwich, admitted producing 36 plants capable of producing a yield worth £2,000 in September last year. He told police he was growing the drug to cope with his medical problems. He has no previous offences of this nature and Judge Alasdair Darroch fined him £200. Stephen Buttle, 35, also of St Martins Close, admitted producing 31 plants capable of producing 1,300 grams of the drug and worth thousands of pounds. Buttle said it was to feed his own habit and he had never grown the drug before. The court heard he had previous drugs offences, including possessing cannabis. Michael Clare, defending, said he produced the cannabis to keep himself away from previous drug users. He was ordered to do 150 hours unpaid work for the community and ordered to pay £300 towards prosecution costs. Judge Darroch told him: “You have served a lengthy drugs sentence in the past.” He warned him if he came back to court again he would be sent to prison. http://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/
