Weed to ease relationship woes

Police prosecutor Sgt Parasan Ramsumair read that on Wednesday, police officers were on mobile patrol at Pointe-a- Pierre Road in San Fernando when they observed Lall smoking a cigarette of unusual length in an empty lot of land.

Upon further observations, police discovered that he was smoking the illegal narcotic and PC Lange charged him for the offence.

Unrepresented by an attorney yesterday, Lall admitted that he was indeed smoking marijuana.

His reason, Lall said, was because he was having “relationship problems with his girlfriend” and decided to use it to ease his “stress”.

Alert fined him $500 to be paid within 30 days or, in default of payment, he is to serve two months in prison
