The State has been or­dered to pay over $100,000 in com­pen­sa­tion to a woman who was pros­e­cut­ed for mar­i­jua­na pos­ses­sion as a teenag­er.

High Court Judge Christo­pher Sieuc­hand up­held Shaki­ra Bachan’s wrong­ful ar­rest, false im­pris­on­ment, and ma­li­cious pros­e­cu­tion case in Ju­ly, but on­ly as­sessed the ap­pro­pri­ate com­pen­sa­tion that should be paid to her late last week.

The law­suit cen­tred around an in­ci­dent which oc­curred on Au­gust 9, 2017, when Bachan, of Waller­field, Ari­ma, was 15-years-old.
