A cannabis grower who threatened to go on hunger strike if he was jailed will spend the next six months on home detention - and his partner's delighted he's coming home.

Peter Davy was growing 45 rare cannabis plants in his backyard, but says he was only growing the plants for medicinal purposes - to help his chronically ill partner, Tracey Perrin.

Before court he reiterated that he was prepared to go on a hunger strike if sent to jail - in protest that he wouldn't be able to care for Ms Perrin, who has multiple sclerosis.

Ms Perrin is "truly thrilled”"at the home detention, and is relieved her partner's home tonight.

"For him to come home, it's the absolute best, it truly is," she says.

One of Davy's supporters, Jasmine Hewlett, says the outcome is "just fantastic".

"Convicted and discharged would have been better but in all reality home detention ...he can look after Tracey, get on with their lives," she says.

The judge has warned Davy that jail's a real possibility if he's back in court again.
