A woman found with an ounce of ganja in her luggage was fined $100 or a day in in prison when she appeared before Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.

Lorna Morris pleaded guilty to possession of and dealing in ganja. Allegations are that a sniffer dog alerted police at the Air Jamaica luggage area of the suitcase. Morris identified the suitcase as hers and it was searched. During the search a false compartment was found and it contained a plastic container with an ounce of ganja.

The court heard that when cautioned the accused said she drank it. Senior Resident Magistrate Glen Brown then fined her $100 or a day for possession of ganja, while she was admonished and discharged for taking steps to export ganja.
