A short, sharp shock for lying to the court ended with Shamario Simeon Odle being ordered to complete community service when he reappeared in the District “A” Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
Last Wednesday, Odle, 21, a gardener, of Deacons Road, St Michael, had pleaded guilty to possession, trafficking, possession with intent to supply and cultivating cannabis on August 11.
