Pensioner Jacqueline Le Marechal grew her own cannabis to beat rip-off dealers

Daily Echo

Thursday 19 May 2011

A PENSIONER told police she had decided to grow her own cannabis instead of being ripped off by dealers.

Jacqueline Le Marechal had been arrested after police raided her home and discovered ten plants as well as a book on how to grow marijuana.

Prosecutor Erica Foster described how officers found three plants, one close to being harvested, in a rear bedroom where they were being grown with a heating lamp.

In a foil-lined cupboard in a separate room, seven saplings were also being cultivated with a lamp.

The 65-year-old told police how she had used dealers to get cannabis which, she said, eased her health complaints.

She added: "But it caused problems and I got ripped off so I decided to grow my own plants to support my habit."

Southampton Crown Court heard Le Marechal had a previous conviction for producing cannabis three years ago after police spotted cannabis plants growing on her wheelie-bin.

Giving her a six-month sentence, suspended for two years, Recorder Andrew Maitland told her: "If you are stupid to think that, when the two years are up, you can start growing cannabis again, you will go to prison. It’s a matter for you." Le Marechal, of Rooks Bridge, Dibden, also received a four-month curfew on Friday and Saturday nights.
