A St Catherine man who admitted to having 11 pounds of ganja in his possession was fined $100,000 when he appeared before the St Catherine Parish Court on Wednesday.

Sheldon Hines pleaded guilty to charges of possession of ganja and dealing in ganja arising from a police raid at his premises earlier this year.

During sentencing, Parish Court Judge Roneiph Lawrence cautioned Hines against relying on ganja sales as a source of income.
