Man pleads guilty to drug trafficking
 | |
41 year-old Steven Smith pleaded guilty to drug trafficking in court yesterday. Smith was arrested earlier this week after a police officer was walking on East Collet Canal and saw Smith throw a bag aside. The officer picked it up and found containers with 6.56 ounces of marijuana. Smith was arrested and charged for drug trafficking and yesterday, the judge accepted his guilty plea and sentenced Smith to 3 years imprisonment and fined him $10,000 dollars. Smith has to pay the fine by March 31, and if he defaults on payment, he will be sentenced to a second consecutive term of 3 years - a total of 6 years.
