Though ample warnings were issued prior to the World Creole Music Festival, persons still found themselves in trouble with the law for carrying illegal substances into the Windsor Park Stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cGive me a break,\u201d is what first time offender Phillip Laronde of La Plaine told police after being caught with 10 grams of cannabis at the stadium on October 30.<\/p>\n

It was about 1 a.m. when Constable Garvin James did a routine search on the defendant and found a black plastic bag containing cannabis in his right front pocket.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to say that I was wrong to have it and I\u2019m sorry I had it,\u201d Laronde told the court after pleading guilty to the possession of cannabis.<\/p>\n

The farmer and construction worker was fined $450 to be paid by December 15 or he will spend one month in prison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Though ample warnings were issued prior to the World Creole Music Festival, persons still found themselves in trouble with the law for carrying illegal substances into the Windsor Park Stadium. \u201cGive me a break,\u201d is what first time offender Phillip…","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":7710,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime-court-law"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nMan fined for having cannabis at WCMF -
